 Shumei International Institute, in collaboration with the Hazlerig Music House, will host Celtic musicians Willson & McKee at 7 pm on Friday, January 14th. Kim McKee received 15 years of classical training before turning to traditional Irish and Scottish music, 28 years ago! She moves effortlessly between her instruments and her pallate includes hammered and mountain dulcimer, folk harp, accordion, guitar and bodhran, and she never passes up an opportunity to teach a Ceili dance! Ken Willson is the pulsing folk drive, with an engaging tenor voice and tasteful guitar and bouzouki foundations to the unique material. A weaver of wit and tales, he can also spin a fine Ceili swing on the dance floor! Collecting experiences, stories and humor from 20 years of touring together, this pair has focused on educational programming, concert venues, college campuses, master classes, workshops, cultural events and festivals, and they have fine tuned their stage performances to be anything but predictable, traditional, or expected. Tickets for the concert are a $10 suggested donation and all proceeds benefit the artist directly. Seating is limited and are first come first serve. Please call 719/256-5284 for more information.
