Darke County Center for the Arts will present award-winning Canadian trio the Good Lovelies in concert on Saturday, March 23 at 8 p.m. The show will take place at the Versailles Performing Arts Center, 280 Marker Road, located within Versailles school; this change from the originally scheduled venue was made necessary due to the temporary closure of the auditorium at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall.According to Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director, the Good Lovelies are known for their uplifting, feel-good music, and received a Juno Award, Canada's version of a Grammy, for their self-titled first album. The group's latest album, Let the Rain Fall, was also nominated for a Juno as Roots/Traditional Album of the Year.
The Good Lovelies consists of Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough, and Sue Passmore who have been singing together since 2006. “Their three-part harmonies, constant instrument swapping and witty on-stage banter have delighted and entertained audiences around the world; DCCA feels extremely fortunate to have snagged these rising stars for our Artists Series,” Rawlins said.
The Good Lovelies concert is sponsored by the Coppock-Hole Trust. DCCA also receives financial support from Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation, and the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. This program is sponsored in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for the performance by the Good Lovelies are $20, and may be purchased online at www.centerforarts.net or by contacting DCCA at 547-0908 or visiting the DCCA office on the third floor of Greenville Public Library. Tickets will also be available at the door if any remain by showtime.
