A night of laughter with RiverFolk

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Christine Lavin and Don White will present “The Funny Side of the Street: A Night of Brighter Laughter” at The Cooperage at 7 p.m., sponsored by RiverFolk Concerts.

“It doesn’t sound like a folk concert, it sounds like a comedy concert,” says White of his co-bills with Lavin. “We rehearse and we rehearse and then inevitably, she’ll throw something at me that I have no idea about, with a mischievous grin that lets me know she’s been thinking about it all afternoon. Just to see what will happen. And she’s taught me to do the same.”

Lavin emerged from the New York City singer/songwriter scene in the late 1980s (along with Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, John Gorka, etc.). She has been at the forefront of finding and promoting extraordinary new talent, and Don White is the latest artist she has championed. “He’s such an original; I call him sometimes a ‘blue,’” Lavin says. “The first time we worked together he opened for me, and it’s the only time in my entire career that I opened with a ballad because he was so funny, the audience was so laughed out.”
