Versatile musicians will present an afternoon concert inside the
Parish Hall of The Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness on Sunday November 16
at 4:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but donations will be gratefully
accepted to further the ongoing Friends of Music & the Arts series.
Tom Eure and Amelia Osborne are a lively Carolina folk pair from the Charlotte area who
offer a melding of Celtic, Appalachian and spiritual influences. Their style fluidly changes
from one instrument to the next, swirling together fiddles, banjos, bodhran, mandolins,
guitars, and rousing vocal harmony. They’re going on ten years performing together.
Here’s a video clip from an earlier live concert:

One reviewer of their first album, "The Coin, The Prayer & The Crow," compared it to an
artist pouring old wine into new bottles and making the listeners believe. The duo flourish as
artists, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and activists, always striving to paint a picture that
is fresh and uplifting. “A Promise of Hope” is their second album with a third on its way.
Free parking and handicapped access are available. The Parish Hall is across Rutledge Drive
from the church at 1905 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock. For more information call the
church office at 828-693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.
