Peter FletcherThe Silver City Public Library is pleased to announce the return of its free concert series! Three acts will appear at the library during March and April 2018. The concerts are free and open to the public thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Library.

The series will begin on Friday, March 2, 6:00 p.m. with a recital by Peter Fletcher, a classical guitarist based in Detroit and New York City. His recordings on the Centaur Records and Towerhill Recordings labels have been critically acclaimed, and in 2018 he will release two CDs. Peter is working on an all-Bach album and a transcription project featuring the music of French composer Georges Bizet, to be released on Centaur Records in 2019 and 2020. Peter offers an audience friendly, solo recital featuring repertoire that runs the gamut from the Renaissance Period through the 20th Century. Learn more about Peter Fletcher at peterfletcher.com.

Ken Anderson and Rebecca Hall of HungrytownOn Friday, March 16, 6:00 p.m. the free concert series will continue with Hungrytown, whose last appearance in Silver City was in 2016. Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson – otherwise known as the folk duo Hungrytown – have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting. Hungrytown's music has received extensive radio airplay worldwide and has appeared on several television shows, including Comedy Central's The Daily Show, IFC's Portlandia and Netflix's Lady Dynamite.

Timothy and Kathy Dick of Auld Lang SyneThe series will conclude on Friday, April 6, 6:00 p.m. with Auld Lang Syne, a group which has not previously visited our area. Hailing from Rochester, NY, Auld Lang Syne (Timothy and Kathy Dick) has built a reputation for crafting lyrically incisive songs, firmly rooted in the earth, yet backed by arrangements which are utterly transcendent. The indie-folk duo has released four full-length albums: Midnight Folly (2009), There Are Roots Below (2014), Last of the Honeybees (2015), and Positively Phototactic (2017).

Seating is limited and will be on a first-come, first-seated basis. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., 30 minutes before performance time.
