SUMMARY:Live Music - Phil Heywood -
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHAREWe are thrilled to have a live performance by guitarist\, singer and songwriter Phil Heywood on Saturday\, June 9\, 2018  show starts at 7:30 pm with doors opening at 7:15 pm. \nPhil Heywood plays fingerstyle guitar with a bluesy swing and a bucketful of whatever it takes to turn an instrumental piece into an arresting lyrical narrative. His lucid playing encompasses the down-home rhythmic groove of a Mississippi John Hurt or Leadbelly\, and the sheer fluidity and melodic flair of such contemporaries as Leo Kottke. \nThe internationally renowned Kottke handpicked Mr. Heywood to tour and perform duets with him. A soul-satisfying instrumentalist\, Phil Heywood draws listeners in with his voice as well\, singing in a warm\, plainspoken baritone that blends smoothly with his rock-solid guitar work. \nRecently Dave Moore and Phil Heywood have been sharing stages\, trading songs and embroidering rich instrumental accompaniment on each other’s songs and melodies. \nWhile born and bred in Mount Vernon\, Iowa\, Mr. Heywood has been based in Minneapolis-St. Paul since the mid-eighties\, performing locally and regionally while also establishing himself in the greater guitar and acoustic music world. \nIn 1986 he won the National Fingerpicking Championship\, and followed up a year later by winning the American Fingerstyle Guitar Festival Competition. \nPhil has played on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion with guitar legend Chet Atkins\, performed with fellow acoustic guitar luminaries Peter Lang\, Pat Donohue\, Tim Sparks\, and Dakota Dave Hull\, and opened shows for such artists as Norman Blake\, Greg Brown\, John Renbourn\, Chris Smither\, and John Hammond. \nPhil Heywood has recorded six CDs: Some Summer Day (1990)\, Local Joe (1996)\, Circle Tour (2000)\, Banks of the River (2003)\, You Got To Move (2008)\, and Rollin’ On (2014). What one inspired critic wrote of Local Joe applies equally to each of Phil’s CDs: “Acoustic guitar fans should consider this recording a must have….Heywood gives us all something to enjoy for a long time.” (Music Reviews Quarterly) \nMr. Heywood will be available for phone interviews and other press inquiries in advance of the show by calling or texting Nancy Emrich Freeman at 847-256-0000. \nWe strongly recommend coming to his show if you like: Leo Kottke\, Chet Atkins\, Peter Lang\, Dave Moore\, or Pat Donohue. \n\nTickets\nAdvance tickets can be purchased locally at Bauman’s and Helios\, or online via Brown Paper Tickets. \nBauman’s of Mount Vernon is located at 124 1st Street SW\, Mount Vernon\, IA 52314.  You can call them for info and to reserve tickets at (319) 895-8692. \nHelios Stitches ‘n Stuff  is located at 221 1st Street NE\, Mount Vernon\, IA 52314.  You can call them for info and to reserve tickets at (319) 512-3323. \nTickets can also be purchased at the door. \nCOST:  $5 Students / $20 General Admission / $50 VIP Seating \n\nThis will be an intimate concert in a relaxed setting.  Bring your own beverages into the theatre with the purchase of a reusable Uptown Theatre Sippy Cup ($5). \nYou can also reserve an early dinner before the concert at the Palisades Café\, mention LilFest\,  and receive the evening’s LilFest special. \nQuestions?  Call or text (847) 256-0000 or send email to: 3bearscottage@gmail.com \nFor more information see these websites:\nwww.LilFest.org          www.PhilHeywood.com \nPLEASE SHARE

Both dedicated multi-instrumentalists and meticulous songwriters\, Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers distinguish their music with genre fluidity\, buttery harmonies and acoustic ensembles. \nTICKETS are only $15. \nAlthough prevailingly a modern folk band\, FLA sip copious inspiration from Americana\, jazz\, soul\, and rock. \nSince forming during their senior year at the University of Notre Dame\, Frances Luke Accord’s approach to music has marked a boundless evolution. \nIn December of 2012 the duo released their first record\, Kandote\, a not-for-profit\, intercultural collaboration with the Barefoot Truth Children’s Choir of Kkindu\, Uganda — an endeavor that continues to support the primary education and musical aspirations of the choir. \nBringing their world/folk sound to Chicago in the summer of 2013\, the duo quickly garnered local and regional attention for their captivating live performances and stunning self-produced releases\, including the Queen for Me EP (April 2014)\, Live @ Strobe (April 2015)\, and\, most notably\, their debut full-length album\, Fluke (May 2016). \n“Frances Luke Accord are the definition of lean-in music.” – Joni Deutsch\, NPR’s Mountain Stage \n“Frances Luke Accord are some of our very favorite musicians\, songwriters\, and people. We couldn’t recommend their debut LP\, Fluke\, highly enough.”- Darlingside \n“While Simon & Garfunkel may be no longer touring\, Powers and Gunty are more than talented enough to take their place.” –Quinn Delaney\, PlaylistHQ \n \nPLEASE SHARE
