The FlintHills Folk Music Guild is bringing the group Small Potatoes to town Saturday.
They will be performing at 7:30 p.m. at the Iron Horse Concert Hall.
The Chicago-based folk duo of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso say it has taken them years of careful indecision to develop a repertoire they describe as "Celtic to Cowboy." They have been touring since 1993, making appearances across the United States.
They have made repeat appearances at major folk festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Walnut Valley Folk Festival and Philadelphia Folk Festival. They were one of the “most requested” acts at the 1999 Falcon Ridge New Artist Showcase. Jacquie is also a past winner of the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest.
Their music ranges from country, blues and swing to Irish. They have four recordings, "Alive!," "Waltz of the Wallflowers," "Time Flies" and "Raw."
Those attending will hear two great voices, some fine guitar playing and a touch of tin whistle, flute, mandolin, bodhran and other percussion toys.
Together they present a truly rare blend of vocal and instrumental abilities, award-winning songwriting and arranging talents.
The Iron Horse is located at 315 S. Main; enter through Circle Gallery Frame Shop. Tickets are $12. For more information, call 321-6348.
