Black Hills Songwriters
Fall Concert

 

Featuring Marty Meyer, Mike Linderman, and Ken & Cory Tomovick. In the Dahl's Cyclorama room, all tickets $12, on sale now.

It's not officially Winter until December 21, so the idea of a Fall concert on Friday, December 4 is chronologically correct. With the combined musical talents of Ken and Corey Tomovick, Mike Linderman, and Marty Meyer, this concerts proves any time of year is good for outstanding music. Corey Tomovick, event organizer explains "We have wanted to play a show together and kept talking about how we should play together someday at the Dahl. Well, we decided to seize the day and make it happen." The concert will be in the Cyclorama Mural Room at the Dahl beginning at 7:00pm. "The Cyclorama room provides a warm intimate setting with great acoustics and not a bad seat in the house." added Assistant Director of the Dahl, Darla Drew Lerdal.

Since 2005, Ken and Corey Tomovick have been performing, writing and recording together. They often bring in their talented friends in the recording process lifting their music to new heights. Ken's intricate acoustic guitar work perfectly matches Cory's voice and lyrics. "Whether the song is telling a story or is an emotional plea for peace, it will leave the audience just a little richer in emotion and spirit." says guitarist Ken Tomovick. "Beneath the Surface," their first CD is testament to their efforts. According to Steve Thorpe of the Rapid City Journal, Ken and Cory's CD "is about as perfect as the singer/songwriter relationship can get because Ken and Cory find themselves in service to the song." This indie couple explores blues, country, folk and a modicum of advice on parenting skills during their set.

Mike Linderman wowed the Dahl audience a couple of years ago as an opening act for Norman Liota. Michael uses his music to raise the standard of beauty and hope in a world that completely misses the good things. "Yup, I even wrote a song about my dog. What songwriter doesn't actually want to sing about one of their best friends?" Mike is a member of the board of Black Hills Songwriters, was a co- organizer and performer for the Songwriters Gallery workshops and concerts, and works with elementary schools as a songwriter for the Elder's Wisdom Children's Song program. He has opened for Nashville songwriters Tony Arata, Don Henry, Tia Sillers, Mark Selby, Gene Nelson, Angela Kasset, Rob Crosby, Craig Carothers, Barry Dean, and Michael Johnson. Always searching for great melodies and messages, he focuses on lyrical finger-style arrangements and songs from the heart with a touch of humor thrown in for good measure.

Keyboard player, Martin Meyer is a South Dakota native, schooled in Los Angeles at the Grove School of Music. A featured singer, songwriter, and piano player, his style is "smooth and expressive", and reflects a lifelong love of music. Marty is a respected regional favorite and draws scores (no pun intended) of fans to his solo shows. Marty said of the show "The opportunity to play in a concert setting with Ken, Corey, and Mike was an experience in which I wanted to participate. They are great people and high-caliber musicians." His debut CD of instrumental piano music entitled "Great Sky", has earned many glowing reviews and is often requested on SD Public Radio's Early Morning Classics.

In addition to experience in live performance, arranging, and education, Marty's portfolio includes studio session work, collaboration on independent film scoring projects, and most notably his original keyboard demonstration music for Yamaha Musical Instruments. He currently resides in the Southern Black Hills with his wife and two children, and continues his musical endeavors in his project studio - Great Sky Music.

Tickets for "The Fall Concert" are $12 for the concert and can be bought in advance or night of show at the Dahl. The concert will be in the Cyclorama Center at the Dahl Arts Center. The concert is at 7:00pm the doors open at 6:30pm. For more information call the Dahl at 394-4101 ext 200.

The Winter Music Series, formerly the January Music Series, is back and this time...it’s personal! Seriously, this series was designed to fit the personal music requests from our patrons and friends. This is the first Winter Concert Series in the new John T. Vucurevich Event Center. As the newest music venue in town, there are comfy new chairs for 250 audience members, special acoustic curtains and tiles, access for people with disabilities, and every seat in the house has a clear line of site to produce a maximum enjoyment factor.

Sat, Feb 7 - Willson & McKee:  The series kicks off with this incredible Celtic and acoustic music duo—simply one of the best shows touring the Midwest. Kim McKee is featured on accordion, hammer dulcimer, guitars, folk harp, mountain dulcimer, bodhran, plus he tells stories and throws in a wonderful bit of ceili dance! Ken Willson can be heard playing guitars, Irish Bouzouki, bagpipes (on occasion), storytelling, and some mean ceili swing himself. These two performers are not only talented, they could literally charm the socks off of a Senate subcommittee.

Sat, Feb 21 - Abbey Road:  The return of the king! Well, almost. Abbey Road is back! The staff at the Rapid City Arts Council listens to their audiences, and they said “more Abbey Road!” This fantastic Beatles tribute band is coming to the Dahl to perform in a theatre setting which just happens to be the best way to enjoy this phenomenal group. The band has been touring various fairs, special concerts, events and conventions, and now it’s time to rock the Dahl with lots of Beatles tuneage! This concert is also our chance to raise $5,000 for RCAC performance programs with matching funds from Modern Woodmen of America. Enjoy yourself and double your donation to the Arts Council performance programs. Paul Peterson will start the show with a set of acoustic Beatles tunes from 7-7:20.

Sat, Mar 7 - Spooncat Harris: The series concludes with a new show from the Brothers Hegg (of Spooncat!) and Hank Harris. These super talented entities combine to present a rock-based show that uses smoking guitar, fiery keyboards, and blazing horns. These are hot musicians with a super cool sound. Jeremy Hegg is the talented keyboard player you may have seen with Acoustic Christmas, Spooncat or the Jazz Diversity Project. His equally talented brother John, formerly of jazz/rock fusion group Spooncat and Acoustic Christmas, join South Dakota music marvel Hank Harris. Voila Spooncat Harris!

Bryan Bowers in Concert
with opening act Ken & Cory Tomovick

Nationally acclaimed auto-harpist Bryan Bowers will perform a solo concert at the Journey Museum Theatre on Friday, October 3rd. The concert is presented by the Rapid City Arts Council’s Bluegrass Festival Committee. Singer/songwriter team Ken & Cory Tomovick will open the show.

From his modest beginnings as a street singer, Bryan Bowers has become a major artist on the traditional music circuit. He has redefined the autoharp and is also well known as a singer-songwriter. Bryan has a dynamic outgoing personality and an uncanny ability to enchant a crowd in practically any situation. His towering six foot four inch frame can be wild and zany on stage while playing a song like `Dixie' and five minutes later he can have the same audience singing `Will The Circle Be Unbroken' in quiet reverence and delight.

For nearly three decades, Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the five-string banjo. He presents instrumental virtuosity combined with warmth, eloquence, expression and professionalism.

"Bowers is widely regarded as the leading virtuoso on the autoharp... Bowers also has distinct gifts as a singer and songwriter."  —People Magazine

Ken & Cory Tomovick will open the show at 7:30pm. Ken & Cory are regional singer/songwriters who perform an all original, eclectic mix of rhythm & blues, folk and storytelling songs as a duo, with Ken on acoustic guitar and Cory on vocals. Cory is also the president of the organization Black Hills Songwriters and she is the writer behind all of her and Ken’s songs. Ken & Cory have a CD out called “Beneath the Surface” which also features acclaimed violinist Kenny Putnam on some recorded tracks.

Chuck Pyle In Concert

The Rapid City Arts Council presents singer/songwriter Chuck Pyle, the “Zen Cowboy” at the Journey Museum on Saturday, June 21 at 7:30pm. The concert is a partnership with the Black Hills Songwriter’s Week-long workshop held annually in Western South Dakota.

Chuck Pyle has won high praise from both fans and peers alike throughout an inspired performance career of over 40 years. When reviewers first gave him the "Zen Cowboy" moniker, he decided to, as he says, "Always ride the horse in the direction it's going.”

He blends infectious melodies with straight-from-the-saddle poetry, quoting bumper stickers, proverbs, world leaders and old cowboys.

An accomplished songwriter, Chuck's songs have been recorded by John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Suzy Bogguss. Country fans know him best for writing, "Cadillac Cowboy", recorded by the late Chris LeDoux, and "Jaded Lover", recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker.

The Chuck Pyle Finger-Style approach to guitar has distinguished him as a true original, earning him invitations to teach at such prestigious events as The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and The Swannanoa Gathering. His music has made him a favorite of Bill & Melinda Gates who have had him play at their home in Seattle.

An excellent recording artist, he has just released his 10th CD, Higher Ground - Songs of Colorado.
