FREE Concert in Sculpture Garden

November 3, 2009

Please join us for a Celtic music extravaganza! The Associated Students of Cerro Coso Community College are pleased to present a FREE concert featuring The Browne Sisters & George Cavanaugh on Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the College's Luis Miro Sculpture Garden (across the street from the gymnasium).

The Browne Sisters & George Cavanaugh have been performing at festivals and concert halls across the United States for over 20 years. Their silvery harmonies, beautiful arrangements, and entertaining personalities have made them one of the most popular Celtic music groups performing today. Their sets always include several rousing numbers and a few traditional and not so traditional ballads, and always a Gaelic song or two. They are known for making any song their own, while still keeping true to the original work. Sisters Diane, Pamela, and Laura bring powerful lead vocals and haunting harmonies to every song, while Cousin George's strong, unaffected vocals and original guitar style brings a rich and authentic sound to each piece. They have been called "The folk group for people who thought they didn't like folk music," and have opened for acts such as Andy M. Stewart and shared the stage with the likes of Alex Beaton, Alasdair Fraser, Men of Worth, Seamus Kennedy and Seven Nations. They have released five albums: Silver Darlings, Castle Dangerous, West of Home, Bringing Down the House and Ready for the Storm and currently are working on their newest album yet to be titled, hoping for a release date in late 2009. You can visit The Browne Sisters & George Cavanaugh on their website: www.brownesisters.com.

Come and join us for an afternoon of great entertainment! Bring your own lawn chair or blanket for an afternoon of pure musical pleasure. No alcohol allowed.
