The Chicago based folk duo of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso say it has taken them years of careful indecision to develop a repetoire they describe as "celtic to cowboy" Superb musicianship and showmanship, award-winning songwriting, and a strong sense of tradition has made them, as Dirty Linen Magazine said, "one of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit."

Finest Kind
Friday, May 12, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, May 13, 7:30 p.m.
Finest Kind is the remarkable folk trio from Ottawa, Canada whose exquisite harmony, singing, and brilliant vocal arrangements are bringing a fresh sense of excitement and discovery to the performance of old songs. The trio's glorious sound, served up with easy-going humour, has won a devoted following across North America.
Hailing from Texas, England, and Canada the variety of these individual musical backgrounds makes for one of the distinctions of a Finest Kind performance -- the exhilarating mix of repertoire. British, American, Irish, and Canadian traditional ballads keep company with gospel rousers, drinking songs, sea shanties, and pop oldies. The timeless works of the Carter Family, the Copper Family, Rudyard Kipling, and Hank Williams mingle with originals by Ian or Shelley. Unencumbered by allegiances to any one style, Finest Kind presents the hand-picked best of many genres, and keeps audiences wondering just what delight they'll hear next.

I am excited for her, she is standing at the beginning of her journey in this town, with all of it ahead of her. It reminds me of the first time I heard Beth Nielson-Chapman or Nanci Griffith. It’s going to be fun to watch.” — Kathy Mattea

The new lineup includes WIL MARING & SHADY MIX, back by popular demand! This quickly-rising Southern Illinois group, with members from Makanda, Nashville, and Munich launched our first concert series last March with their knock-your-socks-off stage show. The feedback was unanimous, "Bring 'em back!!!" If you were there, you know what I mean. If you weren't,....don't let that happen again! (As I type this e-mail, Wil is in some dressing room at the Grand Ole Opry, preparing for her debut performance on that famous stage. I'd bet the farm she'll be accepting her first Grammy Award before too many moons go by
