JUST DO IT: Cabin Fever Fest, 3/3
By now the Music Issue may have you all fired up to start reviving your slumbering musical genius. The Philadelphia Folksong Society is there to help you out with the Cabin Fever Fest. Fest sounds omniously like sitting and consuming, but put that thought out of your mind. Tomorrow's event won't be the same without you voice and/or instrument.
One workshop I can personally endorse is Gather Round, led by Kathleen Sullivan and Connie Koppe (of Enchanté, famed for their French cabaret renderings.) The title accurately represents the activity, it is simple, empowering and delightful to hear ones own voice as part of an instant harmonic whole. Best of all, if you like this workshop the leaders can hook you up with the monthly gathering.
Slo Mo is back from India where he studied their style of steel guitar, so count on stretching your ears with him. Sharon Katz is hosting a session called Funky and Fun featuring group singing, rhythm and movement from her South African home. Kenny Ulansey (pictured) will empower you to improv world music style and Stephe Ferraro (Boris Garcia) will get you entrained as he traces the history of the drum circle.
Were you among the festivarians who put HogMaw on the main stage last year? Come be part of their bluegrass and beyond experience. What ever you do, if you've got an instrument bring it. If not, be ready to sing and shout and drum with hands and feet. There is promise of a life changing day for all involved, and we've only divulged half of the first half!
Sat., March 3, noon-9:30 p.m., $38, Unitarian Society of Germantown, 6511 Lincoln Drive,215-247-1300, pfs.org.
