MCC Second Sunday concerts presents folk singers February Sky Jan. 12
Submitted by McHenry County College
McHenry County College’s popular Second Sunday concert season continues at 3 p.m. Jan. 12 when folk singers February Sky return with their multi-instrumental professional folk act. The performance will be in the Luecht Conference Center at the college, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake.
February Sky, now based in Trout Lake, Mich. but formerly of Chicago, features traditional singer and Celtic guitarist Phil Cooper with songwriter and singer Susan Urban. Their combined talents on guitar, Cooper sings and plays his own arrangements of traditional songs and tunes on six string guitar and cittern, and he also interprets a number of carefully chosen songs from the best of modern folk song writers. Urban is a writer of story songs and humorous “slice of life” songs. She accompanies her singing on guitar, six-string banjo, mountain dulcimer, and hand percussion instruments. February Sky presents a combination of old and new songs addressing the widest possible range of human experience, complete with vocal harmony, intricate instrumentation and thoughtful stagecraft.
Second Sunday concerts are free and open to the public.
The next concert on Feb. 9 will be national recording artist Maureen Christine returning for her annual Valentine Concert, accompanied by jazz artist Michael Bazan.
