Event: The Rusty Doves

Place: Unity Hall – 101 Vanderkemp Ave. Barneveld, NY

Date / Time: Friday, May 21, 2010 - 8pm

Admission: $8 / $10

The Rusty Doves are hard to peg – and that’s a part of what makes them so special and enjoyable.  A Doves performance is a kaleidoscope of sound. Alyssa Stoke  and Jerry Dee deliver unique interpretations of bluegrass, swing, pop and old-time jazz standards, as well as their own original material.  Few groups cover a range of artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, Fats Waller, Radiohead, The Animals and Metallica.  The Doves not only do it, they do it with a style and flair that makes it work wonderfully.

Alyssa Stoke plays mandolin and handles the lead vocals.  Her extraordinary voice transitions smoothly, giving poignant, tender and powerful voice to the wide range of material she and Jerry Dee cover in a typical set. Dee, on upright bass, is equally versatile thanks to a musical background that includes classical training on the bass and time spent in reggae, funk, rock and jazz-fusion bands. Jerry's style has been described as playing the bass "like a dance partner- with agility, command and a steady rhythmic excitement that becomes contagious."

Whether playing in a rowdy bar or a concert hall, the Doves always manage to draw a strong response from people of all ages and walks of life.   The ‘live’ acoustics of the upstairs theater make Unity Hall a great place to catch the Rusty Doves in concert.  Don’t miss the chance to catch two of the regions most talented and entertaining musicians live in a venue perfectly suited to their style.

Tickets are $8 if reserved in advance or for Unity Hall Foundation members.  Tickets at the door will be $8 for foundation members and $10 for non members.  Reservations and group discounts can be arranged by e-mailing tickets@unityhall.com.  Food and refreshments will be available.
