From Academy Concerts:

We are thrilled to have the Early Mays back for another Christmas concert of Appalachian carols and other wonderful songs. In the past we have had to turn people away from an over-full hall, so be sure to get your tickets now! Some of the sweetest, most evocative sounds you will ever hear.

Note: this is a Thursday evening performance. 

Allegheny Church is not accessible to people who have difficulty negotiating stairs.

Ken Waldman and the Wild Ones

The theater will be jamming with a McKean County roots music experience featuring the Snappin' Bug String Band, The Early Mays, Willi Carlisle and Ken Waldman. 

Between Ken Waldman and the seven accompanying musicians, stage credits include the Appalachian String Band Festival in Clifftop WV, Jalopy Theatre in New York City, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas in New Haven CT, the Americana UK 2019 Showcase Festival in London, England, plus Crooktop, an old-time music festival from here in Bradford. The Denver Post has called Ken Waldman's shows "Renegade Americana" and according to The Austin Chronicle, his appearances are "Like a Ken Burns movie . . . Always recommended." Ken Waldman has a knack for putting together shows specific to place, and he likes to say how they're full of fun, inspiration, and surprises.
