SECOND SATURDAY CONCERT June 12, 2010 7:30 p.m.
The Malvinas It is a great pleasure, and something of a coup, to bring this multi-talented, multi-instrumental trio to play for us at Second Saturday. First of all, their music is to die for. Their rich vocal harmonies and tasteful instrumentals are finely crafted. They have created a sound that is all their own, and something very beautiful. Second, getting them all together in one place to play requires luck, good timing, and international travel arrangements. Beth Cahill is a singer-songwriter living in Quebec who plays mandolin and tenor guitar. Her songs reflect a thoughtful and wide-ranging intellect whose interests range from Bach to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Owing no doubt to Beth’s influence and following, the Malvina's website is written in both English and French! Gina Forsyth plays violin and guitar, and has played fiddle in several Cajun bands for a number of years. She is a resident of New Orleans. Gina released a solo CD, You Are Here, in 2001, and some of her other pursuits have included acting, drumming and serving as a DJ on folk music radio. Lisa Markley is an award winning singer-songwriter who performs in a variety of styles. She is a graduate of North Texas University, majoring in music, and a resident of Dallas. Lisa released her first CD, Goddess of Groove, in 2000. Opening for the Malvinas will be Across the Water – soon to become an international band in their own right. For those of you who thought Steve’s relocation to Calgary was job-related, the story can now be told: The guys in the group admire the Malvinas so much that they wanted to be just like them. The June concert promises to be a memorable musical evening. Put it on your calendar, and be sure to come out and join us.
