Springfed musicians Billy Burke and Tony Norris
Springfed serves up a gratifying spread of tunes from Appalachian ballads to cowboy songs to original compositions from their hundred years of combined musical experience. Bill Burke is a master of the five string banjo and an artful mandolin player as well. Tony Norris’ rich tenor voice is complemented by his sensitive guitar work and he’s prone to telling a good story. They are joined by Elena Gonzalez, a classically trained violinist who is bravely exploring the Dark Side of fiddling. Look for songs of faithful dogs and faithless women and bone rattling dance tunes when they take the stage at the second of St. John’s Advent Concert Series.
