COYLE — Classical, gospel and country, singing, dancing and fiddling will fill the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center this Saturday night as Strings and Things, a two-family band, arrives.
In the 7:30 p.m. concert, the players aim to offer a little of everything, “from Patsy Cline to a soothing classic waltz,” said Jenny Crichton, whose offspring Hunter, Sydney, Chasity, Bryson and Riley are members of Strings and Things.
This is another show in the Concerts in the Woods series, so admission is by donation and all ages are welcome.
Host Norm Johnson sets out coffee and cookies at intermission, as it’s a community gathering as well as a performance.
“One great appeal of the Strings and Things band is the caliber of the young people performing. The hard work and effort is overwhelmingly evident,” said Esther Cylwik, whose daughters Megan, Jenny and Alison complete the ensemble.
Crichton is likewise inspired. She added that the kids, through their playing, hope to encourage other young people to try their hands at music.
For more information about Saturday’s show and directions to the community center at 923 Hazel Point Road, see www.coyleconcerts.com or contact Johnson at 360-765-3449.
