“…Melody Bigalke admits she’s a scrapper and a survivor. This feisty, crafty lady is a mufti-disciplined artist that brings something unique to whatever medium she works. Ceramics, print-making, jewelry but her most distinctive art are her gourds…”

Melody will be at The Good Old Summertime Art Fair (June 3rd, 2012)

Chris Sipos and Rachel Young will be performing at “The Good Old Summertime Art Fair” Sunday, June 3rd.

Chris Sipos and Rachel Young play acoustic music for the discerning listener. They delve into a multitude of genres ranging from upscale, in-vogue intonations to folk songs as haunting as the most ancient mountain hollow. A smoky jazz ballad sits beside a driving Johnny Cash-June Carter cover, while superb originals by Sipos are regularly stirred into the mix.
