Everett folk series starts well

EVERETT — Sunday’s opening concert of the Folk Song Series in Everett was a hit.

“It was a great success, largely due to the large and enthusiastic audience,” said Bob Nelson of the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society and one of the performers.

“Everyone arrived ready to enjoy themselves and they certainly did. It was clear to both of us (Nelson and performer Reggie Miles) that Everett seemed starved for this kind of down-home music. It was a great start to the concert series,” Nelson said.

The next four concerts are on June 1, July 13, July 20 and Aug. 3 at the Everett Library’s main branch or the Evergreen branch. For more information on the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society, go to http://pnwfolklore.org.
