The Laurel
Mountain Coffeehouse Series continues at Preston Community Arts Center, 123 S. Price Street, Kingwood with an evening of
entertainment by Ernie Hawkins, internationally renowned acoustic guitar
virtuoso, at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 12.
For many
years Hawkins has been playing concerts, clubs, festivals, colleges, museums
and other celebrations in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1947, he first learned country
guitar, mandolin, banjo and bones from a man named Pete who worked on his
uncle's farm. Pete had played with the Lilly Brothers and had rambled around
the country, taking a 30-year detour down whiskey lane that landed him in a
cabin on the farm as property caretaker and a primary musical mentor to
Hawkins.
Admission
is $10 at the door. The Preston Arts Cafe will be open prior to the show and at
intermission. The arts center gallery
filled with handcrafted works of art by area artists and artisans will open at 6:30
p.m. and
the door to the coffeehouse will open at 7 p.m.
