DOUG SPEARS W/RON & BARI PERFORM
SUNDAY, NOV. 15 @ 3:00PM $20 suggested donation
Fifth-generation Floridian, singer-songwriter and storyteller Doug
Spears has spent more than 30 years performing original folk
and Americana music throughout FL and across the country. His
songwriting draws on the people, places, history and character
of FL and storytelling has always been an important part of his performances. Spears recently released Blacktop Road and the album has been receiving excellent reviews. Orlando Weekly Music critic Bao Le-Huu described him as having “gentlemanly grace and John Denver-esque soul” and characterized the album as “a
classic slice of Florida folk portraiture.”
For this show he’ll be joined by Ron and Bari Litschauer,
longtime fixtures of Florida’s folk and acoustic music
community. Ron is an exceptional guitarist and mandolin
player and Bari brings her distinctive banjo and tenor guitar
playing to the trio. Together, it’s a musical friendship and
easygoing stage chemistry that makes their concerts as
much about the stories, humor and shared experience as the songs themselves.

Building Bridges Coffeehouse at the Manatee Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in downtown Bradenton, 322 15 th St. W. Bradenton, FL 34205, is a particularly appropriate setting for this kind of intimate, acoustic performance. The concert offers an opportunity to hear original Florida music in the listening-room tradition, where the
audience gets to know the songwriter as well as the songs.
