India Cain & Keith Allen + DG Chandler & Mariah Wheeler
Mar 7 Concert:
India Cain & Keith Allen 60s style original folk songs
India Cain is a singer-songwriter who brings to the duo a strong early classical background in piano, organ, cello and voice with over 40 years experience on the guitar. She was caught up in the Greenwich Village-inspired folk scene of the 60s when folk music became her primary musical focus. In the 70s India sang professionally with SilknSteel, an Ohio folk/rock band and over a ten-year period presented a program called Ballad Workshop to local schools in the Dayton-Cincinnati area. Her strong musical influences include Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Linda Ronstadt, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Jackson Browne, Ian & Sylvia, Kate Wolf, Nanci Griffith and Iris Dement.
Keith Allen, a self-taught banjo picker, is the duos strong bluegrass and traditional music influence. He was swept up in the folk revival of the 60s and 70s and rapidly migrated toward the bluegrass end of the folk spectrum. In the early 70s, Keith played banjo in Whetstone, an acoustic folk-rock-grass group in Charlotte, NC. In addition to the many bluegrass tunes he has contributed to the duos list of songs, Keith continues to strengthen the duos repertoire with a variety of traditional and old-timey tunes that complement his unique vocal style. He counts Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, Bill Keith and Alan Munde as the strongest influences on his self-taught playing style. He has also introduced India to some of the genius of Bill Monroe with further introductions to follow. http://www.indiacainmusic.com/
DG Chandler & Mariah Wheeler
DG Chandler has been playing guitar and writing music for much of his life. He sometimes accompanies other musicians and has been in a few bands over the years. DG is only recently venturing out to play his own originals, which include over a hundred songs! He sings to protest the angst of living in the world these days, songs of heartbreak, and songs of fun times, with a few spiritually relevant songs in the mix.
Mariah Wheeler took up celloyes that instrument is really a cello--about 4 years ago with the hope that she might be invited to play along with DG on his songs a dream that came true! She also plays regularly for the Pittsboro Dances of Universal Peace and is making progress in learning to sing. She believes that even with just a few notes, the cello adds a beauty and depth to almost any song.
