Shane Cooley & Friends Shane Cooley & Friends Presented by Tidewater Friends of Folk Music at Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library April 7, 2012 Born over forty years too late this folk rock singer/songwriter seems a bit misplaced amidst the computer- enhanced drone of the 21st Century. Despite his unfortunate timing, Shane's affinity for the music of the 1960s and 70s has helped him develop the kind of qualities that have survived over the decades. When all the frivolities and gimmicks are stripped away from an artist, two things truly matter: strong songs and a compelling performance. Shane puts these in the forefront, toiling over...

Ron Fetner Ron Fetner Presented by Tidewater Friends of Folk Music at Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library April 14, 2012 Even though performing and recording projects in the seventies and eighties helped spread the word about Ron Fetner, it wasn’t until his first solo release in 1997 that the buzz started to expand beyond the Mid-Atlantic region. "This Box I’m Looking Through" got immediate attention when Public Radio's "The Folk Sampler with Mike Flynn" and WHRO/Barry Graham’s "Off The Shelf" and "Acoustic Highway" have played cuts on their shows.
