Show Folk Utah! sets second co_ncert Aug. 21 The lAMA and the Farmington Performing Arts Council are proud to present an encore presentation of acoustic music in Woodland Park Saturday, August 21 from 6 p.m. to dusk. Woodland Park is Farm.ington's outdoor theater, located about 300 S. 200 East (the main highway, 106). Like a smaller version of Salt Lake's Red Butte Gardens, Woodland Park is hidden in the city, surrounded by native trees in a natural creek bed setting. The stage overlooks a grassy area perfect for an evening of acoustic music. It's free; bring a blanket or lawn chair. A hat or baseball cap is also a good idea until the sun gets behind the trees. While last year's event helped celebrate Farmington's Centennial, the 1993 concert features musicians from the Folk Utah! recording project. This just-completed CD I cassette album features 11 of Utah's most gifted songwriters, and will be on sale at the concert ($15 for CD; $10 for cassette). The performances are diverse, but all draw on traditional acoustic music styles promoted by the lAMA. Invited to appear are: Carla & Dave Eskelsen-who, as the Willow Valley Trio with Doug Parrish on string bass-have performed regionally for more than a dozen years. Their original songs emphasize Carla's pure vocal style. Amy Jacob--currently a BYU student, performs regularly at Cafe Haven. Her independently produced album Pine, with Carrie Deppong is a delightful collection of her original songs. Jay Toups-nationally recognized instrumental guitarist and singer I songwriter-who is also the producer behind the Folk Utah! project. The recording is the first offering from his Local Music record label. Megan Peters-whose soulful style, infectious humor and powerful voice make her like no one else on earth. Megan's musical interests encompass, blues, rock and folk, and she moves easily among those genres. Scott Williams-a writer whose performances are rare (in his other life, he's a pediatrician) but not to miss. His compelling ballads are deeply rooted in the traditional of the troubadour, dealing with the current and historical, the serious and the frivolous. The Great Salt Lake Guitar Co.
