Books & Stars: Wednesday at Sibley School with folk singers Bob & Gail

Since 1980 Bob and Gail have traveled the country together taking old time music to audiences of all ages at festivals, fairs, concerts, dances, schools, libraries, music camps, radio and TV programs. This is rural music as played in homes, at dances and for earlier entertainments such as minstrel shows and country radio. Along with a repertoire including dance tunes, ballads, cowboy songs, humorous and sentimental numbers, blues and rags, they spice their shows with stories, history and folklore. They both sing (Bob yodels, too) and play fiddle, banjo, guitar and harmonica.

Booker, the Northfield Book Bus opens at 6:30 for you to check out or return library materials. The show will begin at 7 pm. In case of rain the show will move to the Northfield High School Auditorium. Books & Stars is made possible by a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, with support from the City of Northfield; Northfield Public Library, and the Northfield School District, Family Services Division. The Cocoa Bean will be on hand to sell their Hawaiian Shaved Ice but will not be available if we have to move inside. The proceeds are donated to Booker to help keep it on the road.
