Landmark’s Folk Series Begins with Ollabelle & Susan Werner

The Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street is proud kick off this season’s Fabulous Folk Series starring Ollabelle and Susan Werner and hosted by WFUV DJ John Platt, on Saturday, October 27, 2007 at 8 PM. The series is sponsored by WFUV Radio, Frank Ullman and Greenberg Traurig, LLP with additional program sponsorship from Harding Real Estate and Wachovia Bank.

Drawing comparisons to Crosby Stills and Nash, Ollabelle is gospel, celtic, Cajun and country, blues bluegrass and folk. The five person band includes Amy Helm, daughter of the Band’s Levon, and combines deep roots with soaring, sophisticated harmonies. Susan Werner has six albums under her belt, an active touring career throughout the U.S. and a string of accolades from The Washington Post, The Village Voice and The New Yorker. As one of the defining artists of the folk music genre, her songs effortlessly slide between folk, jazz and pop, and are delivered with a sassy wit and classic Midwestern charm. WFUV’s John Platt hosts.

Tickets: Premium $35 and Standard $30 with discounts for purchasing the four-part folk series (which includes Pat Wictor and Red Molly on January 26th, Richard Shindell on March 15th and Greg Brown on April 5th), group discounts and Friends of Landmark.

Landmark on Main Street is a not-for profit community center, located at 232 Main Street in Port Washington, housing the beautiful Jeanne Rimsky Theater. Visit www.landmarkonmainstreet.org for more information.
