Concert Deets: Be there at 12:30 for sound check!

Dear Dear RISK!

Well, after about a million emails, we have straightened a few things out:

Luke, our sound man ( we're a real band!) wants RISK there at 12:30 for a sound check.  This isn't totally imperative, so if it's a major hassle, we can work without you for the sound check.  You can show up and then leave after the sound check (20 mins. or so) and then return to the O space at 1:45 for the show.  Or you are welcome to stay around and check the action, listen to the Onlies do their sound check and get warmed up.

Here is the Set List:

Mairi's Wedding (the usual arrangement)

Boil Em Cabbage Down:  Opening Potatoes (4)
                                          Play tune 2X
                                          Sing 1X (boil em cabbage down down, bake them biscuits brown brown,                  
                                                        the only tune I ever did learn was boil em cabbage down down)
                                         Play tune 2X
                                         Tag

Isaac Hannah's :  Play entire tune 2X

Minor Swing:  Intro by Sandy;
                        AABA repeat entire form 3X.  On 2nd time, violins drop out for Shane and Kim's solos.
                        On last time through the final A part, we end with the rhythmic pattern:
                        We Are Ending the song ( on Am).

Hangu from Podoloy into Freylachs from Podoloy:

2 X through Hangu starting quietly on A part and building then right into Freylachs.
2X through Freylachs slowing a little at the end.


Please call or email if you have any questions about this list.

Let's have a great show, and do invite your friends.

The Onlies benefit contradance, Sun. March 9th 2pm @ O Space

Invite your friends and family to the contradance of the year!  Featuring Seattle's hottest youth string group, the Onlies, and benefiting folk music programs for youth on Vashon, this is an event not to be missed.

Open Space welcomes The Onlies to Vashon, headlining a Benefit Performance for RISK and RISK Jr.
As a venue that loves music, arts education, and joyful gatherings, we are thrilled to welcome The Onlies, RISK and RISK Jr. to our stage! This Benefit Performance will feature RISK and RISK Jr. opening the show. Over 25 Vashon kids and adults will take the stage to perform. Then, The Onlies will bring their amazing music and spirit, with a concert and dance sure to bring smiles to every face and a spring to every step. Larry Muir will call the dance portion of the afternoon.

The Onlies play original and traditional fiddle-driven music, with Celtic, old-time American, and Canadian roots. Members Leo Shannon, Riley Calcagno, and Samantha Braman are Garfield High School (Seattle) sophomores who've literally played together since they were two years old. Singing and playing fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, and piano, they have developed a strong fan base throughout the Pacific Northwest, performing concerts, dances, restaurants, and pubs from Port Townsend to Palo Alto, CA. The Onlies have just finished their first full-length album, "Setting Out to Sea." The CD features six original songs and tunes, plus traditional and contemporary selections

Proceeds from the event will go towards the RISK Scholarship Fund, which supports music lessons and instrument rentals for low-income kids.
