  • December 13 Showcase – Greg Vickers
    The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways Volume 21, Issue 12 December 2005 December 13 Showcase – Greg Vickers showcase (shō kās´) n. 1. a glass-enclosed case for protecting things on display, as in a store or exhibition. 2. anything displaying something or someone to good advantage [the revue was a showcase for new talent]. thanks to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College Edition . Sounds like we have the choice of seeing Reston’s own Greg Vickers “displayed to good advantage,” or stuffing him into a protective glassed-in enclosure. Greg has been coming to the Folk Club regularly since September of 2003. This will be his second showcase this year, as he played January’s, too. He promises to perform a few of his “Greg songs” . you know, the ones that typically revolve around silly linguistic details he’s so obsessed with. Or about people he finds irksome. Or about the overwhelming pathetic- ness of modern American culture. And he promises to revisit Silent Banjo, Holy Night, a song he wrote for last year’s Folk Club holiday party. The song’s preamble tells the story of the lost-in-history fourth magi (is the singular magus?), Cletus, who presented the infant Jesus with a banjo. This song takes a while, so Greg is glad to have the extra time available with the showcase format. Greg hopes to perform a few songs with his frequent music partner, Michelle Murray. And two guys who haven’t played the folk club before: Les Hatley (lead guitar) and Doug Brouder (bass, mandolin and vocals).

  • 2017 SSMS Abooklet.Pdf
    WELCOME TO THE GARRICK THEATRE’S 2017 SUMMER SEASON, and its seventh annual Saturday Summer Music Series. Since we launched the SSMS in 2011, the summer offerings have expanded greatly, and the total number of events has increased again this year. As in 2016, the Garrick offers four series to keep your summer calendar full. Returning patrons will immediately note one significant change: Thursday is the new night for the weekly performance on our smaller Annex stage, now known as Thursdays on Church (ToC). However three of the ToC events - the Atlantic String Quartet, Andrea Lodge & Jay Sorce (in their first classical performance at the Garrick), and perennial favourites, Fretboard Journey - are actually being held in the main auditorium. Friday Night Films (FNF) featuring independent Newfoundland and Canadian films - often with producers, directors or actors on hand - returns this year. We are also pleased to present the 2017 edition of Live on the Lawn (LotL), a series of free afternoon concerts held in partnership with the Mockbeggar Plantation Provincial Historic Site and the Ryan Premises National Historic Site. This program will help you to keep track of the many events being held each week. We have altered the format to make it more readable at a glance, with dedicated pages for each series, and a chronological listing of all events. Private donations and sponsorships are the Garrick’s financial cornerstone, and we are delighted to welcome several new supporters for 2017. Without these generous contributions, the theatre simply would not be able to deliver its program. We appreciate that the vast majority of donors and sponsors either reside in the area or have a strong local connection, with a genuine interest in helping the theatre succeed.

  • March 12 Showcase – the Aloha Boys by Glen Mahalo to the Folk Club for Allowing the Aloha Boys, to Share Their Music at Our Second Showcase
    The Folk Club of Reston/Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways www.RestonHerndonFolkClub.com Volume 35, Issue 3 March 2019 Ryanhood – March 19 Cameron and Ryan will present finger-flying solos, solid vocal harmonies, and crowd-pleasing banter. See page 2 March 12 Showcase – The Aloha Boys by Glen Mahalo to the Folk Club for allowing The Aloha Boys, www.alohaboys.com, to share their music at our second Showcase. The three of us were born and raised in beautiful Hawai’i. Irv and Isaac grew up on O’ahu and Glen on Kaua’i. Work brought us to Washington, DC where we raised our families. The three of us have two daughters each. Our daughters’ involvement in hula spawned The Aloha Boys. We have been playing together for about a quarter of a century. It is rather amazing to think of the gigs we’ve had, like the Joan of Arc Festival in Rheims, France, the venues where we have performed, like Carnegie Hall, and the audiences who heard us live, including the President of the United States, Supreme Court Justices, U.S Senators and Representatives in one gathering. Our performances tend to be in a kanikapila, jam session style, that is rather unstructured. Our backgrounds do not include formal music training or education. When Glen was very young, his family often sang in a car that had no radio. He learned to play the ukulele in the third grade, but didn’t really play it much until The Aloha Boys. He played trumpet in a swing band from the 6th through 12th grade.

  • February 2009
    NEWSLETTER February 2009 The Best Valentine’s Day Extravaganza ever! Don’t miss this one! The Folk Project runs the Minstrel’s house-packing, rip-roaring, over-the-top Valentines’ love fest every year, but this year’s Extravaganza promises to be the most talent-packed show in memory. Dozens of Folk Project favorites will perform along side some great newcomers to our annual celebration of love, lust and bro- ken hearts. On Friday, February 13th, 2009 beginning at 8pm Minstrel Time, 24 songs will be introduced by this year’s MC couple, Nancy and George Dugan. This astounding array of passionate offerings to romantic love, eternal love, lost love, frustrated love and base animal attraction will be accompanied by our Valentine’s Love Trio featuring guitarist Frank Sole, or by our ten-piece Loving Hearts Club Boogie Band featuring the heart-pounding, rock arrangements of Andy Koenig, or by accompanying themselves in traditional folksinger fashion. You, our brilliant audience of Folk Project hecklers, will also be starring this evening because our MC couple will be reciting your Messages from the Heart for all to hear and enjoy. These clever declarations of Valentine love have become a truly literary, poetic and comedic hit of annual Extravaganza and will be collected by our begowned and ever-elegant Princess Ruth and Magic Margaret. And this night we make it a point to present a full complement of the best desserts of the year. We’re having a great show this year. Don’t miss it. Mark Schaffer, Folk Project President & Minister of Love.
