A soft spoken man with a booming singing voice. Joseph Parsons ended
Folkus Productions season to a sellout crowd. The folks at the Sicklerville
house concert reacted with smiles, tears, and applause. Joseph does indeed
know how it feels to be in love and loose a love. His songs, sometimes sad,
depicted the many feelings we all have had at one time or another. Joseph has
a gift for expressing these passions in our lives. His amazingly resonant
voice and his modulating guitar playing appealed to this crowd. Many of us
are looking forward to going to Appel Farm to see him again.
To me, Folkus Productions is a community service. Jodi, Paula and Gill
have been followers of the folk scene for quite some time. They have brought
a nice mixture of singer/songwriters to the South Jersey area. Being at
their house concert is like being with family. A first time attendee told me
that he really enjoyed the music, but was most impressed with the atmosphere
and the friendliness of the people at Folkus. I agree. There is a common
bond among us all. We are there to see, hear, and enjoy music in an intimate
setting. What could be more familiar than being in a friends living room
hearing good music, live? Our friends at Folkus do deliver!
This past season Folkus has presented: John McVey, LesSampou, Bet
Williams, Karen Savoca and Peter Heitzman, Darryl Purpose, Lucy Kaplansky,
Dana Robinson, June Rich, Christin Havrilla, Jackie Tice, Jim Infantino, and
Lisa McCormick. It's been a fantastic season. We're all looking forward to
more of the same excellence next season; thanks to Jodi, Paula and Gill.
Thanks, Linda Steffen
