She also has three CDs for children through her company called RunAlongHome. \nAward-winning singwriter (not a typo) Kevin Kelso loves to write story songs. He finds his subjects everywhere: the Irish potato famine\, the metaphysics of turtles\, a small town’s contra dance — even a love song to a Roomba. His folk-inspired style is influenced by Arlo Guthrie and John Prine\, but as a keyboard player\, he also draws from Carole King and Tom Lehrer. He has four one-person shows of his original songs\, has released comedy singles “Apology” and “Daylight Saving Time”\, and has been the featured musician on Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone over a dozen times. \nKathleen Kelso is an LA-based singer-songwriter in the folk/pop genre.

Bring your kids\, because they’ll have a great time\, too.” In addition to performing several of their original songs\, The Folk Collection’s arrangement of a medley of TV western theme songs from the 50’s (including Bonanza\, Davy Crockett\, and Rawhide)\, is always one of the highlights of their show. It all started in the mid 60’s\, when Hollywood High School buddies Ed Labowitz and Tony Unger performed in a local folk trio. After the military\, Tony was a touring musician and pop singer for 15 years. Ed went on to law school at Cal. Mike Sirota played folk songs as a camp counselor in Los Angeles and then graduated and received his teaching credential from Cal. Flash forward to the new century. After many years\, Ed and Tony put their old folk trio together\, only this time they added new friend\, Mike\, and The Folk Collection was formed. Their memorable three-part harmonies now bring family and friends together\, making even more merriment and memories. Labowitz is an L.A. entertainment lawyer\, Sirota serves as a cantorial soloist at two Southern California synagogues\, and Unger is the pastor of a church in Bishop\, California. Just like the folk songs they have performed around the country\, the magic lies within seemingly disparate elements coming together as one\, creating the unforgettable music that continues to shape our lives. “We grew up loving this sort of music\, and we’ve been thrilled by the amazing response to our shows from people of all ages who really get a kick out of joining in with the words and harmonies. The show is all about folk music and good clean jokes\,” says Labowitz. Unger adds\, “The Folk Collection provides one of those all-too-rare opportunities for family friendly fun. We get a real kick out of watching teenagers reluctantly coming to our gigs as a favor to a their mom and dad\, and then watching them walk out of there smiling and humming the tunes that we all love so much. No matter how different we may be\, the music never fails to bring us together.” \nAdd to cart URL:https://www.boulevardmusic.com/event/the-folk-collection-9/ CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.boulevardmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Folk-Collection-2022.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260509T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260509T220000 DTSTAMP:20260404T001352 CREATED:20260131T010132Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260201T221250Z UID:85325-1778356800-1778364000@www.boulevardmusic.com SUMMARY:JAMES LEE STANLEY DESCRIPTION:With a history that includes 5 years on StarTrek Deep Space Nine as the singing Klingon amongst other roles; 3 years as Steven Wright’s opening act; tours with Bonnie Raitt\, the Dixie Dregs\, Robin Trower and Robin Williams; the composer of the hits Coming Out of Hiding\, I Don’t Want To Talk About It and Plenty of Reason as well as scoring the PrimeTime CBS TV Special\, CATHY; 32 solo CD’s and duet CD’s with Peter Tork\, Cliff Eberhardt\, Dan Navarro or John Batdorf\, you know you are in for an evening rich in musical chops\, great songs and a man who\, his remarkable singing and guitar playing notwithstanding\, could be a stand up comedian… As they said in the Village Voice\, “with James Lee Stanley you get it all”.

Born in England\, Clive began his musical journey in Chelmsford\, Essex. His parents had a taste for American country and old time music and it wasn’t long before Clive was playing in the family band on a homemade banjo. By his early teens\, guitar in hand\, Clive was traversing the worlds of soul\, pop\, funk\, and traditional Irish music\, balancing his affinity for Slayer with the etudes of Tárrega. This breadth of musical curiosity was to become one of his strengths; even as a child Clive was as comfortable accompanying a group of folk singers as he was jamming along to Nirvana or performing standards with the Essex Youth Orchestra. Clive went on to earn a 1st Class Honours Degree in Composition and Guitar from the famed Trinity College of Music in London\, all the while balancing his classical work with forays into the world of the steel string guitar. By the time he graduated from Trinity\, Clive had not only penned orchestral works\, he had written an album’s worth of solo acoustic guitar music. A chance meeting with English guitar legend John Renbourn proved the catalyst for Clive’s debut album\, “Sixth Sense”\, which Renbourn deemed “a milestone in the journey of the steel-string guitar”. He subsequently took Clive on the road with him and the pair toured North America and Europe together\, launching Clive’s solo performing career. Since then\, Clive has established himself as one of the world’s premier acoustic guitar players. He has toured across Europe\, Australia\, the Middle East and North America\, garnering praise for his sublime performances of everything from 16th and 17th century lute music to Jazz standards\, Blues\, Irish reels and his own groundbreaking compositions. Lauded guitarist Tommy Emmanuel (“Clive Carroll is one of my favorite guitarists\, Trust me go see him!”) has also taken Clive on the road\, and similar nods to Clive’s musicianship have been given by everyone fromclassical guitarist John Williams to Madonna\, Guy Ritchie\, Michelin award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli\, and the Sultanate of Oman. To date\, Clive has released five solo albums; “Sixth Sense”\, “The Red Guitar” (which Tommy Emmanuel cites as one of his desert island discs!)\, “Life in Colour” and “The Furthest Tree”. Clive has also written music for television and film\, most notably composing the music for the film “Driving Lessons”\, which features Julie Walters and Rupert Grint of Harry Potter fame. Clive’s newest CD is “The Abbot” (2023).
