                   October for a final schedule

     7:00pm - Weavermania! - 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! Live faithfully re-creates

                   the songs of The Weavers.  They are 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).  Pete Seeger praises the Weavermania! ensemble for its

                   success at capturing the sound and spirit of the original group.  He says "They're even better than

                   the Weavers"   Be prepared for an evening of all the Weavers best known songs such as "When

                   The Saints Go Marching In", "Wimoweh", "Erie Canal", "Midnight Special", "Twelve Gates To The

                   City" and of course "Good Night Irene".

                      re-released on countless albums and CD's worldwide. In 2003 they reunited for a PBS TV music

                      special.  Since then they have performed their two-man show all over the United States, Canada,

                      Hawaii and the Philippines - playing to sold out crowds who flock to hear the harmonies

                      and the humor.  Their great hits such as "A Summer Song", and "Willow Weep for Me" are still

                      thrilling audiences all over the world, and the duo is doing the same more than 40 years later.

                      Whether on stage, on their brand-new albums, or through archival releases of unheard material,

                      you can be sure that Chad & Jeremy are proving in the 21st century that it isn’t quite true when

                      they said that “Yesterday’s Gone”…
