    The Bluebillies

    Since 1988, on the second Tuesday of each month from October to May, the free Music at Noon concert series has presented exceptional musicians with diverse musical styles. On Jan. 10, the Bluebillies start off the concert series. The group performs its unique blend of country, bluegrass, and folk music with traditional style, sound, and spirit. Husband and wife team Mark and Melody Guarino have been singing together since 1984, with their mission being preserving the rich heritage of country music.

    The Bluebillies produce a series of traveling Old-time Gospel Music Revues each season, host their own gospel music open mic each summer, and have released three records; Adirondack Angels in 2016, Gal From Ioway in 2014, and Train to Paradise in 2013. Also happening before the performance will be a workshop featuring Deb Cavanuagh introducing traditional American instruments from the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Students will sing along, dance, move and perform traditional American folk songs such as “I’ve Been Working on The Railroad,” “The Erie Canal, Froggie Went A’Courtin’,” and other favorites. The workshop will be from 10-11 a.m., with the performance starting right after.

    Other Music at Noon performances coming up is Bleecker Consort on Feb. 14, Natalia Shevchuk on March 14, Akina Yura on April 11, and Findlay Cockrell on May 9. Tickets to these performances can be found here.
