‘8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 13, 1991 COMMUNITY { Folk singer Chris Smither will play the Chicory House Chris Smither, widely hailed as one of the smoothest guitarists, most gifted songwriters and bril- liant song interpreters performing today, will regale the audience with his soulful and affecting fusion of acoustic blues, folk and rock-and- roll when he appears in concert at the Chicory House in Wilkes-Barre, Friday, Nov. 15. +. The nonprofit, volunteer-oper- ated Chicory House, Northeastern Pennsylvania's only venue dedi- cated to presenting folk music, helds its coffeehouse concerts in the Community Room of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, South Franklin Street across from Boscov's, in downtown Wilkes- Barre. The performance starts at 8:30 p.m., doors open at 8 p.m. No newcomer to the music scene, Chris Smither was born and raised in New Orleans and made his way, in the mid sixties, to the Charles Street folk clubs of Boston, where he quickly became a favorite. Very active as a performer and record- ing artist through the next decade, he shared stage and studio with the likes of Van Morrison, Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, Arlo Guthrie and Jorma Kaukonen. He's still best known for writing “Love You Like a Man” and “I Feel the Same,” which became two of Bonnie Raitt’s signature tunes. After dropping out of sight for some years, and enduring some personal hard times, Smither reemerged in 1985 with the album “It Ain't Easy,” which was re-re- leased with additional material in 1989 to tremendous critical and audience response. Smither has cut five albums including the never released “Honeysuckle Dog,” featuring Dr. John, Lowell George and others, and has completed material for a sixth. Admission to the November 15 Chris Smither concert at the Chic- ory House will be $6 at the door. Desserts and beverages will be available for purchase, and table seating willbe on a first-come, first -served basis. For further informa- tion about Chicory House presen- tations, or to become a Chicory House volunteer, phone (717) 675- 8843.
