3:30 p.m. Children's Concert - Threadgill Theater
Purly Gates'
repertoire as a singer/songwriter/educator is as
diverse as her experience: from an Earth Day concert
at Disney World or a Residency in Micronesia funded
by the National Endowment for the Arts, to national
touring and local prominence. She enchants audiences
of all ages, actively engaging her listeners with
relevant, appropriate material covering subjects
from peace to pizza, environment to retirement.
This uniquely energetic and creative singer
accompanies herself with guitar, banjo, accordion,
ukelele, harmonica, and umpteen odd or home-made
instruments. Her musical styles range from mostly
folk and swing, to country, a touch of blues,
bluegrass or even an occasional rap. And she may do
a little story-telling between songs, if the time is
right......
