Stuart's Opera House puts on (yet another) great innovative show

Stuart's Opera House held a "Ohio Winter Folk Festival" yesterday in Nelsonville, and it was a great show, great start to hopefully, a new regular event. First, in the afternoon, there was a vinyl record sale, and some other musical sales, as well as a homemade craft show. A very good atmosphere is created by these events in the lobby of the Opera House; lots of good conversations and musical-sharing. Then in the late afternoon, and on into the evening they had 6 musical acts put on a good solid, diverse show. Adam Torres, an Athens singer-songwriter (the only solo performance), The Black Swans, Moon High, and Super Desserts (all three from Columbus) then led up to the headliner, Vetiver, from California. Lots of good songwriting, singing, instrumental virtuosity, harmonies, unique touches among these musical acts. We liked Super Desserts the best; they are a 12 piece ensemble- with violins, sax, tuba, xylophone, cello, uekelele, all sorts of stuff, and great vocal harmonies, and a good spirit and sense of humor. Once again, Stuart's has pulled off a great, innovative event, and kept folks admiring their great vision and musical commitment to the area.
