Listen Live to Sullivan County's All-Star "Opry" Band!

Guitarist Van Manakas

Hurleyville, NY – Ever wonder what happens when you put a legendary rock-a-billy and country singer, a twangy steel guitar player, a world-class jazz and bluegrass guitarist, an R&B bass player, a seasoned keyboardist, a folk singer/conga player, and an Americana duo together on stage?

Well, now you can find out…

The Sullivan County Historical Society concerts are back! Sunday, February 27, local favorites Jay Ganz, pedal steel guitar; Mickey Barnett, vocals; Gary Barnett, keyboards; Van Manakas, electric guitar; Ellen Iovino, vocals and congas; and Jeff Anderson, bass, will kick off the new series. The music is hosted by Carol and Aldo of Little Sparrow, and will feature a selection of Americana songs, from Elvis and Hank to Jerry and Bob.

Doors open at 1 p.m., and the music starts at 2. (Snow date is Sunday, March 6.) Donations will be gratefully accepted, with all proceeds going directly to the musicians.

The program is sponsored by the Sullivan County Historical Society, located in the Sullivan County Museum at 265 Main Street, Hurleyville, New York. Call 845-434-8044 for more info, or visit www.scnyhistory.org for directions.
