SUMMARY:Mid-Winter Singing Festival Friday Night Community Sing
DESCRIPTION:Joel Mabus\, the long-time MWSF song leader and music director\, is unfortunately unable to be there Friday night due to Covid-19. We wish Joel a speedy recovery\, and we’ll see him at a Ten Pound Fiddle event in the near future.\n\nRachael Davis\n\n\nRachael Davis is a big personality with a huge voice. She might punch you in the shoulder within minutes of meeting you. She might fill a room with raucous\, contagious laughter\, both her own and yours. And she might bring you to your knees with her astonishing voice as it soars\, whispers\, pleads and demands your attention. Deep Michigan roots\, Nashville’s gain is the Great Lake State’s loss\, but music travels everywhere. \nRobert B. Jones\n\n\nAuthenticity is something that I believe is important to all of us. And hopefully we get to work with people who are authentic. When you couple that authenticity with talent of a truly exceptional nature: a pastor\, a songwriter\, a storyteller\, a multi-instrumentalist\, an award winning educator with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of African American folk music\, including blues\, spiritual\, and slave songs…its players and styles…you get the Reverend Robert B. Jones\, Sr. from Detroit\, Michigan. \nJoel Mabus\n\n\n“Joel Mabus is one of contemporary folk music’s most eclectic performers. A skilled guitar\, fiddle\, banjo\, and mandolin player and melodic songwriter\, Mabus has played everything from traditional folk tunes to bluegrass\, blues\, and original songs.” Craig Harris at AllMusic.com \nMabus has toured widely and makes his living at music\, though he is flying under the radar of American pop culture. Whether you label him folk\, Americana \, or a singer-songwriter\, Mabus remains a one-off\, walking that lonesome valley\, making and marking his way as a working artist outside the confines of the usual music business. \nhttp://www.joelmabus.com/ \nFrank Youngman\n\nFrank Youngman first saw Louis Armstrong when he was 8 years old and he seemed to know then that he also wanted to play music and entertain people. Starting on piano and trumpet\, he played his first professional job at the age of 15 with a Glenn Miller style band\, the Royalaires\, who later became The Formalaires. It was during those many years playing the country club circuit\, in big bands and Dixieland bands that he learned to dance and understand just how music moved people.  \nThe college years brought marching bands\, a stint with a Chinese orchestra\, and recitals\, until he heard a guitar player named Joel Mabus play some music of Mississippi John Hurt. After that there was a new world to discover: banjos and pennywhistles\, fiddles\, guitars\, button accordions\, and stepdancing. Soon Frank found himself playing folk music from Michigan to Boston to New York City with The Pretty Shakey Stringband and The Lost World Stringboard.  \nFrank has performed with Martin\, Bogan and Armstrong\, The Fiction Brothers and Johnny Gimble. As a singer\, guitarist and trumpet player\, and founding member of Jive at Five\, Frank came full circle back to jazz and swing and performs with a passion for music bringing every sound\, style and beat he’s heard along the way.
