Chick Music kicks off Valentine's Day weekend with an incredible lineup of female talent from Siskyou County, along with our featured folk/rock singer/songwriter Tiina Flank from Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. Tiina will also be featured on Sunday, February 14th at the Stage Door for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner and music event.
The cast is ever-expanding, at this point including local singers Genny Axtman of the popular local group Rockit, Dana Knight, Kelly Short, Ali Andreas, Paula Reynolds, and Ana Holub. Also featured will be the Mt. Shasta Women's Drum Circle, and the Mountain Gypsies bellydance troupe.
Accompanists and music partners will include Gerry Smida, Ryan Marchand, Chris Prim, Doug York, Jak Anderson, Mike Gregory, and other talented local musicians, including a special guest appearance by the director of the College of the Siskiyous theater department, Tom Murdock - who is also an accomplished drummer.
The goal is to raise funds to purchase a special drum for little ones participating in the Music And Movement For Toddlers program. Enjoying live music by local musicians including our own Gerry Smida (playing accordion), children learn singing on pitch, call and response, and the use of rhythm instruments.
Classes are held Fridays at 10 am at the Mt. Shasta Community Resource Center. The cost is $10 per class. Some scholarships are available. For more information contact Pam Newman 530-859-2309.
