Weavermania!
Live is
touring again for 2010-2011 After taking a couple of years off, we are pleased to announce that Weavermania! will tour again starting in summer 2010. Weavermania! conceived by Michael Smith and Barbara Barrow, has performed to enthusiastic crowds at art centers, folk festivals and music clubs in the USA since 1999. |
| The Weavers--Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, Fred Hellerman, and Lee Hays--were America's first commercially successful folk singing group. Their record Tzena, Tzena/Goodnight Irene sold two million copies in 1950. The songs they shared with the world are still favorites for young and old. | Weavermania is Michael Smith (Lee Hays, bass parts), Barbara Barrow (Ronnie Gilbert vocal parts), Chris Walz (Fred Hellerman's vocals, guitar), and Mark Dvorak (Pete Seeger persona, banjo, vocals). Audio samples coming soon, or email me for demo CD. |
