MUSICIANS WARREN AND JUDY WALDRON BRING TOE-TAPPIN’ APPALACHIAN AND FOLK MUSIC TO THE OXFORD COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER

Judy & Warren Waldron

On April 13, 2012 at 8:00 pm The Waldrons bring toe-tappin’ Appalachian songs and folk tunes to the Oxford Community Arts Center.   Hailing from Somerville, Ohio, The Waldrons have played as part of the Rabbit Hash String Band: a group of musicians sharing a long-time love for the old-time tunes of the 1920s and ‘30s, specifically the north Georgia music of Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers Band. As part of the Rabbit Hash String Band, Warren Waldron has been featured with his fine fiddling accompanied by Judy Waldron’s guitar and banjo uke at such venues as the 2003 Cincinnati Tall Stacks Festival. As a pair, The Waldrons have played and called square dances across the region and entertained at a variety of festivals including the Appalachian Festival at Coney Island and the Black Swamp Old Time Music Festival.

The Waldron’s performance is in conjunction with OCAC’s Second Friday event.  In addition, several featured exhibits will open with a reception to meet the artists at 6:00 PM. Opening Minds Through Art, works of art produced by people with dementia; “Friendly Media,” a collaborative exhibit by Jim Brown and Tom Collins will focus on watercolor and photography; Phase II of Marta Wendt’s “The Morphing Dot Series”; and the After School Art final exhibition will also be on display.   A book reading and discussion by local author Helen Rogers will be part of the evening’s attractions.  This free event also includes open third floor studios and the Art Shop, as well as ballroom dance. 

The Oxford Community Arts Center is located on 10 S. College Avenue, in Oxford, Ohio. For additional information call 513-524-8506, info@oxarts or visit www.oxarts.org.
