| Venue: | Labyrinth Café, UU Church of Ft. Lauderdale |
| County: | Broward |
| Category: | Concert |
| Description: | Saturday, May 8 - 7:30 p.m. Nick Annis/Michael Smith Drilling for oil in the Midwest. Selling ice cream from a truck. Running a bakery. Starting points for just a few stories Nick Annis deftly weaves between and through song and performance banter. One man medicine show? Itinerant philosopher? Nick Annis is an award-winning songwriter, but he is also admired by folk fans for the storytelling talent that makes his performances so memorable. Audiences return to hear him deliver spoken word pieces in the style of brilliant songwriter/storytellers like Gamble Rogers, John McCutcheon and Dave Carter. Drawing on his diverse background and Greek roots, Nick crafts “true” stories and timeless accounts of humanity. "Hearing the songs of Michael Smith in this day and age is like reading an anthology of short stories by Hemingway after decades of only comic books. It's a realization that songs can hold a whole lot more than they're usually expected to hold, that they can possess a genuine sense of place as evocative and magical as the finest literature... His songs are so resonant in layers of myth and magic, and so perfectly enhanced by the genuine beauty of his melodies and instrumental arrangements, that you can listen to a single one over and over for an afternoon and feel satisfied." ~ Song Talk magazine Reservations requested: Contact Myra at Myrafly@yahoo.com or Susan at OzWoman321@aol.com or 954-478-8637 $15 at the door, plus non-perishable item for our local Cooperative Feeding Program.
