House Concert with Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante

House Concert with Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante on Thursday, May 8th in Alexandria, VA.

Enjoy an eclectic evening of songs ranging from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the rivers of New Zealand with international folk musicians Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante. The duo will appear at a 7:30 p.m. house concert in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia (the exact location will be provided when you register for the concert).

Janie, the author of instant classics such as “Twiddles” and “Nasty Nell,” writes hilarious and poignant songs about the music, history, and culture of the people who live on America’s waterways.

Rob van Sante is a master of Celtic-style guitar and he’s also a beautiful singer. While Janie’s songs focus on the Chesapeake Bay, where she grew up, Rob sings classic ballads and contemporary songs he’s collected from around the world, especially England, where he and Janie live and run a recording studio. The concert will also feature songs that Janie and Rob have written together.

Whether they sing about the past or the present, the Bay or Beyond, Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante are delighted to share music, merriment and (sometimes) mayhem. Be ready to sing along!

To register and to get directions and more information, contact Gordon Johnston and Karen Helbrecht at mjkandg@verizon.net or 703 725-0260. Light refreshments will be available at the concert. Please feel free to bring a snack to share.
