2. Winona Folk Acoustic Music Concert, Saturday, April 12, 8 PM, $6.00

featuring Arlon Bennett with Glenn Zervas

Arlon Bennett made a decision one day to let go of all those songs that had been piling up inside of him for too long. In fact, to quote legend Harry Chapin, Arlon knew that “there was only one choice”, so he produced and recorded his first album, “Fountain of Dreams” in 1999, and has since followed that up with his latest recording, “The Watch Man”. Arlon is a singer/songwriter who loves to tell the story without making it obvious, and from his unique perspectives. He considers his greatest influences to be Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Don Maclean, John Gorka and Richard Shindell.

Jane Falvey of The Kingston Coffeehouse, KRIU Kingston, said: “Every decade or so, a voice appears on the folk music scene that makes you sit up and take notice. When that voice is paired with songs and lyrics that tell a story or sing of the human spirit, it is truly magical. That voice is Arlon Bennett and his CD “The Watch Man” leaves you wanting more of this great talent. Listen to it. Listen again, and again…”

“Arlon has a gift for wrapping quiet introspection and pathos within melodies that you’ll quickly find familiar…” –Sing Out! Magazine, Spring 2002

Arlon Bennett is an honest and compelling songwriter who just doesn’t waste the opportunity of your ear…at one of his shows, or on your stereo!

Glenn Zervas writes and performs complex guitar instrumentals strong on melody and harmony. Glenn plays solo acoustic fingerstyle and flatpicking guitar. His musical genre is relative to Adrien Legg, Phil Keaggy, Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. Glenn's performances are peaceful, passionate and creatively inspirational. Brooklyn born, Glenn is now a native of Lake Hopatcong and has been a musician since 1972. Glenn learned guitar from various private instructors and majored in Music at the County College of Morris. Glenn has produced a CD of 14 original compositions entitled "Grace Notes".
