Portland songwriter, Cris Kelly, fronts the Americana band, One Horse Shy . As the band is gaining momentum, he is also creating a career for himself as a solo performer. Chris grew up in Minnesota hearing a lot of Bob Dylan, Prince and Judy Garland. He moved across the country as an outdoor educator, which provided him with a comprehensive American experience in diverse landscapes and cultures.
The Shy Sundays Perform at Luna Sunday, April 19 at Noon
Celtic, Bluegrass, Swing, Klezmer & Folk
No Cover
“The Shy Sundays met late one golden morning in the dawn of time and began their musical explorations over a cup of warm tea and scones. A passing caravan of gypsies, hearing the strong rhythmic pulse, leaped into an impromptu circle dance. The inspired Shy Sundalians began shouting “Dosido!” and “Hay fer four!” in encouragement, as their fingers etched out wild contra dance tunes mixed with Celtic, bluegrass, swing, klezmer and folk melodies. Soon they found themselves playing at events throughout the Puget Sound region, from art gallery openings to country barn dances. The acoustic sound of fiddles, guitar, mandolin, cello, concertina, viola and four-part vocal harmony has pleased many a wandering soul. To this day the Shy Sundays still enjoy late morning tea, musical camaraderie and the company of wild dancers. “ Kim Thal

Knitters plus Celtic Players
No Charge
Here’s a Vashon institution that just happens to find its home at Cafe Luna each Third Sunday of the month. So, grab a beer and have a great time with these fun-loving folks; at least a dozen of the 70 musicians show up to play most of the merry melodies (mostly Irish, jigs, reels, and polkas) from memory. Beginners are welcome; staying with the beat is the only requirement. Get a head start with the 250 tunes on their website, home.comcast.net/~saustin98/lark/.
Knitters of all abilities are invited to bring their projects to the Café; knit, schmooze, and learn from each other, while the Celtic Players work their understated and very merry music. What a fabulous combination! For more information about the knitting, contact David Guion, 463-1680.
