16 | Angelo M Folk Concert
New Bern, Craven County
It’s nice to know that the economic recession has an “up” side. When Angelo M (short for Melasecca) lost his job in a Pennsylvania steel mill, he tossed his hard hat and picked up his guitar, and the music world has benefited. Music has always been a large part of Angelo’s life, but since he has been devoted to it full time he has cast a strong impression with his guitar virtuosity and his eclectic acoustic/roots mix. Influences from Ry Cooder, Duane Allman, Leo Kottke, and Chet Atkins have shaped his finger-picking and slide guitar style, with ventures on mandolin and dobro as well. You will enjoy this gifted artist who doesn’t yet know just how good he is! The concert will take place at the Trent River Coffee Shop. Tickets are $15 general
admission, $12 Down East FolkArts Society members and $8 students. Doors open at 7pm with the concert beginning at 8pm. For more information please contact the Down East FolkArts Society at (252) 633-6444 or log onto
