February Sky to perform at annual Evening of Folk Music

Folk duo February Sky will appear at the annual Evening of Folk Music Concert sponsored by the Geneva Park District at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, 102 S. James St.

February Sky, of Trout Lake, Michigan and formerly of St. Charles, features traditional singer and Celtic guitarist Phil Cooper with songwriter and singer Susan Urban. 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. Susan Urban is a writer of story songs and humorous "slice of life" songs. She accompanies her singing on guitar, six string banjo, mountain dulcimer, hand percussion instruments and Native American flute. 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. The duo has released four CDs since they became a duo in 2007. These will be available at the concert.
