February 24 will be a homecoming concert for  Uncle Henry's Favorites, 
who have fiddled and sung their traditional old-time music together 
since 1985. The band started playing together informally in the 1970's, 
primarily at jam sessions at 214 and at local dances.

Pete Vigour (banjo, guitar, fiddle), Ellen Vigour (mandolin, dancer 
caller), Jim Childress (fiddle, guitar), and Mark Beall (bass) have 
developed their own distinctive blend of fiddle tunes, old country 
songs, skits, and ballads. Uncle Henry's Favorites are active in the 
Charlottesville Friends of Old-Time Music (C-FOOT) and the 
Charlottesville Tune School (C-TUNES), new organizations at 214.

Opening the show will be the newly-formed band Naked Creek, with 
versatile fiddler Aaron Olwell and a hot rhythm section of Marc Perdue, 
banjo, Lorie Lichtenwalner, guitar, and Rachel Vigour, bass.

The 214 Community Arts Center is newly organized to operate a vibrant, 
non-profit community arts center, particularly focusing on promoting 
and supporting traditional music and dance and providing opportunities 
for education, participation, performance, and community outreach.  
This is your chance to celebrate and support community arts at 214!  
Please come!
