Local father/daughter duo at The Cooperage

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Local father/daughter duo Annie and Linus Myers will take the stage at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St. on Sunday, June 14. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the music will play from 7 to 8 p.m.

Regulars at acoustic open-mic night will be quite familiar with Linus. Honesdale High School class of 2006 graduate Annie will take the stage alongside of her father. Annie currently resides in Asheville, NC. She is an accomplished singer, guitarist and banjoist. Annie started playing guitar at 16. Her early influences included strong female vocalists such as Bonnie Raitt, Eva Cassidy and Ani DiFranco. Lately, Annie has found inspiration from the likes of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.

Moving down south has shifted Annie’s musical style. The colorfulness of Appalachian music and culture has brought a new personality to her songs.

“My favorite songs to write are ones that listeners can relate to—songs that sound old because they tell stories that could be mine, or yours, or belong to a man sitting at a coffee shop. The music ties us together,” said Annie.

This concert is BYOB. Donations are collected at the door. Visit www.thecooperageproject.org or call 570/253-2020.
