Write a commentThe the Oswego Music Hall presents three exciting and talented songwriters: Nashville Recording artists Terry Burns and Ron Kristy and Syracuse based artist Stephen Douglas Wolfe. This Hook Series Concert will take place on Friday, March 11, 7:30 PM at the McCrobie Civic Center.
Terry Burns
Terry’s music has been described as "fresh, contemporary, moving, melodic and fun". Burns was former staff writer for EMI Publishing, MCA/Universal and Larga Vista Music. Her songs have been recorded by many artists, including David Kersh, Lari White, River Road, Alecia Elliott, Ruby Lovett, Pam Rose, Dawn Sears, Jason Sellers, and The Burns Sisters. Her music has been featured on various TV shows, including "The Fosters", "Alecia", and "Who Wants to Marry My Dad?". While in her early 20's, Terry recorded 2 CDs on Columbia records with her sisters, "The Burns Sisters". She has also recorded an independent CD of some of her favorite tunes that she has written.
Ron Kristy
Ron has been composing music for Film/TV for many years. You can hear Ron's music everyday around the globe on shows such as "20/20", "Good Morning America", "Inside the NFL”, and "Dancing With the Stars" to name just a few. He has composed award winning music scores for "Angel Stories", "Miracle Stories", and "Life after Life" on the Discovery Channel, and "Soul of the Senate - The Robert Byrd Story" on PBS, among many others. Ron is a former staff writer at Warner Chappell Music in New York.
Both Terry and Ron are accomplished and well published song writers on their own, and are presented at this whole event individually, although they will be accompanying each other.
Together, they are known as “Burns & Kristy”. Hear them online at http://burnsandkristy.com/music
Stephen Douglas Wolfe
Stephen spent two years on the road with his band Getaway Driver in the early 2000’s out of Lawrence, Kansas. Following the dissolution of his band, he began to play solo shows in and around Lawrence. Tapping the influences of some of his musical idols, including George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and Elliott Smith, and local heroes Danny Pound and Andrew Connor, Stephen built a repertoire of solo material.
His next album, “Except for the Birds”, involving Jake Cardwell, Nathan Harold, and Sara MacManus, is more of an anthology than a moment in time, as it combines songs that were written during Wolfe’s days with Getaway Driver. In recent years, Wolfe has re-thought his approach to songwriting, tapping into much more personal and reflective themes than the allegorical and fictional approach of his past work. Now living in Syracuse with his wife, Catherine, Wolfe is working to release some of his most intimate music to date, beginning with the forthcoming single, “We’ll Live”.
The venue is the historic McCrobie Civic Center, 41 Lake St., Oswego, New York 13126 overlooking Lake Ontario and the Oswego Harbor. Ticket Prices are $12.00, seating is general, first come first serve. Access the Music Hall website: oswegomusichall.org
