Mar 251:00 pm: Jam in the Park Dania Beach, FLMar 25 – Broward Jam in the Park, the monthly acoustic music circle, meets this Sunday, 12/27 from 1-4 PM at 1:00 pm: Tamburitza Orchestra and Kolo Dancing LessonsMar 25 – Broward We are forming a Tamburitza orchestra and kolo group in south Florida. This will be the only group of its kind in Florida and the only group in existence in the southeastern United States. Tamburitza music pronounced Tahm-boo-ree-tsa, is the name for the family of stringed folk instruments native to Croatia. While native to Croatia, the Tamburitza is also the common folk instrument throughout Vojvodina, parts of Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Kolo is danced primarily by people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and White Carniola region of Slovenia. Many variations of Kolo dances are normally performed at weddings, social, cultural, and religious ceremonies. Kolo's may be performed in a closed circle, a single chain or in two parallel lines. Both men and women dance together, however some dances require only men to dance and some dances are only for women. The Kolo dance is accompanied by traditional instrumental music (bearing the same name), performed most often with an accordion, but also with other instruments: frula (traditional kind of a recorder) and tamburitza instruments.
We are forming a Junior group for children and young people in the age range of 7 to 21 and an adult group for people 18 and over. You are never too old to enjoy the dancing and playing. We have had members up to 92 old young. The groups will learn to play, dance and sing the songs of the regions. No musical training is necessary since we will teach everyone who wants to join how to read music and then play it on the various tamburitza instruments. The dance groups will be taught various types of dances from the regions to accompany the orchestra. Everyone will be taught to sing the songs of the regions with classes on pronunciation and meanings of the words. We are looking for anyone of any age who would like to participate and anyone who has musical, dance or vocal training of any kind, would be of great help to us. This group is starting from scratch so we currently are looking from instruments from the region to acquire for our members, either through donation or purchase( donations would really help). The 3/4 double bass is one instrument we are currently looking for in south Florida but all types of tamburitza instruments are needed so if anyone can help us, please contact the orchestra director: Edo Sindicich at edo4cubs@aol.com.
Practices will be beginning January 14, 2018 and held every Sunday starting at 1 pm at the Croatian American Cultural Center & Social Club located at 849 SE 8th Ave, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441.There will be a small fee (less than ten dollars) per lesson to help pay the instructors and directors. The clubs has its own 2nd floor dance studio and a large hall to stage dances and concerts. For those who would like to play you will need a tamburitza instrument and we have made an arrangement with a Tamburitza maker in Pennsylvania who can provide HANDMADE new high quality instruments in the price range of $250 to $475 which is a bargain if you Google tamburitza instruments that are for sale on the internet. Since this is a brand new group unfortunately we do not have enough instruments to loan you as of yet for all the people wishing to join. You can check out information about tamburiza music and watch and listen to music with resources at http://learningtambura.byethost6.com and www.facebook.com/Tamburitzaorchestra/
Anyone wishing to take advantage this unique and rare opportunity to continue their culture or learn folk music from these Slavic regions and would like to join can contact: Edo Sindicich at edo4cubs@aol.com or 954-294-7366 or call Dan Grgas president of the Croatian-American Cultural Club at 954-864-9966. https://www.facebook.com/CroatianAmericanCulturalCenter |

Mar 317:00 pm: The Rough and Tumble! Terry Lynn Melody opens.Mar 31 – Southwest Florida They used to say they were from Nashville, TN. That was before April 2015 when 5 year members Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler quit their day jobs, sold everything they owned, and gave their thirty day notice on their rental house to trade in for a life permanently on the road. With their sixteen foot camper and their 88 pound dog, Butter, they have been touring nationwide. Don't let their vagabond tendencies fool you-- this americana-folk duo are a compact team of close harmonies, versatile instrumentation, and deliberate songwriting all presented with a nudge of the elbow and a tongue in the cheek. Haunting, quirky, solemn, and spritely, The Rough & Tumble are for the faint of heart and the strong of will. |

7:00 pm: Roy Book Binder with Karen Cohen openingApr 14 Southwest Florida Another living legend comes to the ACMA! Roy has the goods: the original, the bare-knuckle, the low-down . . . blues. Who can say they were friends with the Rev. Gary Davis, Pink Anderson and Robert Lockwood? And toured with Arthur Big Boy Crudup, Hot Tuna, JJ Cale & Bonnie Raitt ? Roy can. He has the stories, the licks, and the mystery of timeless music in his fingers. He’s been featured on a PBS special and interviewed by Terry Gross on “Fresh Air.” He’s also a regular at Fur Peace Ranch, where he teaches along with Jorma Kaukonen. When he brings his 'Tour Bus' to town, a one-man blues-fest ensues. He plays and he entertains, feeding us music and stories, and the evening is a celebration for us all. We’re privileged to have Roy here to preserve–and extend—the tradition of great American blues music. 7:00 pm: Solar Dogs at The BarnacleApr 14 – Enjoy an evening of great Americana music under the moonlight as local favorites, Solar Dogs, perform traditional, contemporary and original material on the front porch of The Barnacle, one of the oldest homes in Miami. Park curbside or in one of Coconut Grove's many lots or garages and stroll over to the front gate for ticket sales beginning at 6 p.m. Picnic blankets, coolers, and lawn chairs are welcome at this rain-or-shine outdoor event. No pets, please. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for members of The Barnacle Society, $3 for children ages 6 to 9, and free for children under 6. The Barnacle Historic State Park. 3485 Main Highway, Coconut Grove, FL 33133. (305) 442-6866 7:30 pm: Labyrinth Cafe - Nick Annis and Peter MulveyApr 14 – Broward Dust off your dictionary... throw open your thesaurus... and prepare to ponder the literate lyrics of the wonderful wordsmiths who will be gracing our stage in less than two weeks. We all know Nick Annis' gift for eloquence (even when singing about flatulence) and, if Peter Mulvey is unknown to you, you will be delighted to discover his poetic songwriting, not to mention his kick*ss guitar skills! I know I say this every month but... you do not want to miss this show... :-) Saturday, April 14, 2018 7:30 p.m. Drilling for oil in the Midwest. Selling ice cream from a truck. Running a bakery. Starting points for just a few stories Nick Annis deftly weaves between and through song and performance banter. One man medicine show? Itinerant philosopher? Nick Annis is an award-winning songwriter, but he is also admired by folk fans for the storytelling talent that makes his performances so memorable. Audiences return to hear him deliver spoken word pieces in the style of brilliant songwriter/storytellers like Gamble Rogers, John McCutcheon and Dave Carter. Drawing on his diverse background and Greek roots, Nick crafts “true” stories and timeless accounts of humanity. In the early 90s, and just out of college in Milwaukee, Peter Mulvey packed up his belongings and headed to Ireland, where he lived for six months, making money by playing his guitar on the streets of Dublin. While there, though, he heard that there was a booming acoustic music scene on the rise in Boston, and he decided to head back to the US to join the throngs. Mulvey went down to the subways of Boston to play for commuters and raise rent money. Barely a year after hitting the subways, he won the Boston Acoustic Underground Competition. Since his win, Mulvey has gone on to record more than a dozen critically-acclaimed albums, and he tours virtually non-stop. Peter Mulvey throws you smack-dab in the middle of a trainwreck between Leo Kottke, Prince and Michael Stipe ...bizarre, yes, but the low, deadpanned, detuned growling funk is unmistakable, while the lyrics speak with an insight that peers beyond the experience of his years. Peter Mulvey pushes, pulls, twists, turns and shatters the preconceptions of acoustic-based music. Nick Annis, Think of Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Wi1WelsKk Peter Mulvey, Some People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bytoF1VPi9M Reservations requested but not required: Contact Susan at OzWoman321@aol.com or 954-478-8637 $20 at the door, plus non-perishable item for our local Cooperative Feeding Program (canned meats, beans, fruits, vegetables, peanut butter, dried milk, pasta, rice, cereal, baby food and baby formula); Advance Reservations: $17, checks (made out to Nick Annis) received in the UU church office no later than Wednesday before Saturday show (or call or e-mail Susan at the contact info above). Mail advance payment checks to: Thanks to those who purchased our Season Pass for $150 per person, which includes admission to all 9 September-May shows, as well as premium reserved seating and a Labyrinth Cafe T-shirt (designed and printed by Virginia Anderson, Labyrinth Café volunteer). It's a wonderful way to support the UU church, our performers and the continuation of live, original music! [ Because the September concert had to be cancelled due to Hurricane Irma, rather than giving a credit we are asking you to bring a friend to any concert on the schedule, on us… ] Visit www.labyrinthcafe.com for further details and the artists' websites, and our Facebook page to give us a thumbs-up, which will then keep you informed of upcoming concerts: Saturday, May 12, 2018 – Lis and Lon Williamson and Amy Carol Webb (last show of this season; 2018-19 schedule will be revealed late-summer... :-) Can't wait for you all to join us once again for song and camaraderie! |
