First Friday for Folk Music

Join us for an evening of acoustic music. Tonight’s performance features solo sessions by Jerry Stenger followed by Ward Abel.
For this evening, Ward and Jerry step out of their usual trio, The Massey Boys to perform solo sets. Georgia native Ward Abel began as a poet but was soon part of the Georgia music scene during the 1970’s. Abel now performs primarily solo, drawing from his roots playing covers and original songs from his nearly 50-year career, occasionally playing with the Savannah group Massey Boys, and has published thirteen poetry collections (L. Ward Abel). For the first time on his own, Jerry Stenger will bring his guitar for almost a full set of his folk-based original songs, throwing in a few covers for fun. His songs reflect his love of word play, his dreams, his memories, and classic AM radio melodies.
First Friday for Folk Music offers a fantastic music listening experience: live acoustic music by local and traveling artists, low admission fee, alcohol free, non-smoking, secular event, and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. $15 ($10 for members) at the door.
