That evening at 7:30pm, the Shore Auditorium comes alive with an eclectic array of music in a day-ending concert.  Featured that night will be New York-based Americana duo Richie & Rosie. Before joining forces, both members were well established within the Ithaca, N.Y. old-time music community. Rosie has toured with multiple bands, including an appearance while she was in high school with folk-rock band The Mammals, and Richie has performed internationally with bands such as Bela Fleck, Pete Seeger and David Byrne.

Sharing the bill that night will be Journeywork, a traditional Irish band, and also guitarist Jim Volk who incorporates traditional fingerstyle and electric guitar techniques for a truly “modern acoustic” presentation. Shri Kalaa Mandir, with classical Indian music and dance, will perform in the evening concert. Their dancers have been featured at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Playhouse Square, Cleveland Public Theatre, and more. The Chardon Polka Band brings modern polka music to a new generation and will join the lineup. They have become a well-known act in the fall Oktoberfest circuit, headlining at some of the nation’s largest seasonal events. General admission tickets for the evening concert are $10 in advance and available on-line at www.shoreculturalcentre.com. Tickets are $15 the day of the show.
