    Black Hawk Folk Society Fall Into Winter Concert Series-The Crystal River Trio

    All day
    December 10, 2022

    December 10 and January 14 concerts will be on-line—no need to worry about weather and highway conditions! Small Potatoes, a Chicago-based folk duo consisting of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso, will delight December’s virtual audience. These award-winning singer-songwriters are not strangers to Black Hawk folkies, and their performance of everything from Celtic ballads to cowboy tunes will be a wonderful early Christmas gift. Visit smallpotatoesmusic.com for more information.
    Bill and Kate Isles will offer a perfect antidote to post-holiday doldrums come January 14. They are talented and versatile musicians, linking their songs with a ready supply of wit and anecdotes all can relate to. Learn more about this national touring duo whose home base is Duluth at billandkateisles.com.
    Mountain View Community Center is located at N3137 21st Lane, just off Highway 152, south of Mt. Morris. General admission tickets are sold at the door (adults: $10; 12 and under: free). Check Black Hawk’s website, blackhawkfolk.org or Facebook page for more information, including links to the on-line concerts in December and January.
    Black Hawk Folk Society is a volunteer-driven non-profit dedicated to promoting folk music in Wisconsin’s heartland since 1985. We thank generous donors and the following sponsors who help make these concerts possible: Joe Behlen (in honor of Jane Behlen); Lyle and Beth Buettner; Conners/Barrett & Company, LLC; Louise Coumbe; the Frey Family Foundation; Patricia Grant; Dave Gunderson; Paul & Betty Hagan; the Dick Hansen Family; Guy Kaplan; Barbara Peterson; and Janet Scalpone. For more information about Black Hawk, including how to become a donor or sponsor, or about volunteer opportunities, please visit the website at blackhawkfolk.org.
