When you attend a DeeDee Tibbits’ folk music performance, it’s tempting to close the eyes and let the music take you away, but – oh – you’d miss the delight of watching inanimate objects take on a special kind of life in her hands, instrument and artist becoming one. Vibrance, energy, warmth and emotion aptly describe both DeeDee’s presence and her performance!

- Music Alive in 1895. DeeDee will show how music and instruments were used in early America and how they migrated West with the pioneers.
- Music Alive in the Caribbean. DeeDee will take you on a musical journey to the tropical islands of the Caribbean – from Trinidad and Barbados to Haiti and Jamaica – with traditional songs and games from that beautiful area.
