JOHN HARRISON, Inveterate traveler, history buff, guitarist, and balladeer, is a valley favorite who performs a wide variety of repertoire. Nationally, John has made his mark by appearing with the late Edward Abbey in an environmental tour called, "Concert for Canyonlands". He has also appeared as an opening singer for the late folksinger Odetta and for the late Earl Scruggs. His latest CD, "Historical Ballads" includes centuries-old songs he has collected that express a wide variety of human experiences. This evening's program will include some of these songs as well as contemporary songs written by John and others plus a couple of old-time ski songs. To add spice and color to the program, he will perform solo guitar selections from the Spanish Flamenco repertoire.
