MAD AGNES and RON RENNINGER at The Minstrel

Mad Agnes presents their final concert at the Minstrel before the group disbands.  They play original and traditional Celtic music featuring outrageous whimsy, breathtaking instrumentation, and tight a cappella harmonies.  Fronting the group is Margo Hennebach, playing guitar and keyboard, who has been appearing at the Minstrel since she was in high school in the early '80's.  Also featured are songwriter/actress Adrienne Jones, and virtuoso guitarist Mark Saunders. 

From our opener Ron Renninger, expect superb picking and distinctive vocals woven seamlessly around well-crafted and powerful songs. With an easy-going rapport and an obvious joy of performing, Ron leaps across a wide range of musical genres,  lightly touching down in some rather surprising places.

The Minstrel is an acoustic music concert series run by the Folk Project, a non-profit folk music and arts organization. We use the facilities of the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, 21 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ.  We hold shows almost every Friday, year round, and the second Friday of the month is usually an open stage/audition night. The music we present is "folk" music in its broadest sense. That is, in addition to traditional American and ethnic "folk" music (in its purist definition), we welcome music of contemporary, primarily acoustic songwriters, and other types of music more folkie in attitude than in content.

Shows start at 8:00 PM; dress is casual. We serve coffee, teas, and baked goods. There is no alcohol or tobacco on the premises. Admission is inexpensive; on our regular Friday concerts we ask $7.00 on your way in, and, if you feel the show was worth it, an additional amount at your discretion on the way out, which goes to supplement what we pay the feature performer. Children 12 and under are free.  For travel information or information on shows call (973)335-9489 or visit our website at http://www.folkproject.org.
