Sea Casa House Concert with Michael McNevin & Penny Nichols, Sunday afternoon, November 24th! Join us for a lovely fall afternoon of story and song with two of the best singer-songwriters on the West Coast! The Sea Casa concert series takes place at a beautiful residence overlooking See Canyon and a little bit of the great Pacific. With wonderful views and a fabulous listening environment, you and your friends can enjoy a concert of sublime songs, great music and singing in a delightful and inspiring setting. Heres some information about our two featured artists: Michael McNevin: A San Francisco Bay Area native, Michael McNevin started his career with a six-month stint in New York City, cutting his troubadour teeth in the subways and streets of Greenwich Village. Now a veteran of the folk scene, Michael has logged close to 20 years worth of concerts across the U.S., and hes been a main stager at some of the bigger music festivals around, including the Strawberry, Kerrville, High Sierra, and Philadelphia music festivals. Hes been billed in clubs and halls with the likes of Johnny Cash & The Carter Family, Shawn Colvin, Donovan, Richie Havens, Christine Lavin, Utah Phillips, Robert Earl Keen, Iris Dement, Greg Brown, and 100s of others on the songwriter circuit. He has a seasoned voice, accomplished steel string guitar work, and a vivid brand of storytelling. Past winner of the Kerrville New-folk award in Texas, 6-time winner of the West Coast Songwriters Association Song Of The Year, Performing Songwriter Magazine Top 12 “DIY Artist Of The Year. Five CDs, and a few hard to find cassettes. Next CD is tentatively titled Kickin’ Tires. Tracks include Broom & Scarecrow (both winners of the WCS Song Of The Year award), Phoenixville, Pioneer Shindig, & 60 Years Of Sand, This Town Is Gonna Change & I Shot Broncho Billy. The last two tracks are heard in the indie film “Weekend King”, which also casts Michael in a cameo role as a broke and lovesick bartender. In addition, Michael is an Etch A Sketch artist of some renown, delighting and dumbfounding audiences with his song illustrations on the little red toy. Michael has been a guest on CBS Evening Magazine, as well as entertainment segments on NBC, ABC, FOX, and numerous print articles. When not touring, Michael owns and operates the Mudpuddle Shop, in downtown Niles, CA. Hes hosted over 100 acoustic concerts, and well over 250 jams in the seven years hes operated it. His original Etch A Sketch art creations hang proudly on the wall, waiting for an earthquake. “McNevin has moved to the forefront of the New-Folk movement. Captivating stories told with heart against a backdrop of clean, optimistic guitar.” - Brian Turhorst, KVMR Radio “Michael is one of folk music’s best kept secrets. His first album ‘Secondhand Story’ is still one of my favorites, and this new one (Sketch) firmly establishes Michael as a songwriter to be reckoned with. His voice is hipnotic, his guitar playing superb, production perfect. Get this disc.” – Christine Lavin McNevin Songs Live on Youtube: Michael McNevin Live - Black Bart Theater in Murphys CA - August 2006 Silver Hair youtube/watch?v=JhyOC2x7wgk ------------ Michael McNevin Live - Concert For The Cure, in San Diego, May 2013 Scarecrow youtube/watch?v=KnHN-uCSOEg Penny Nichols: A long-shining star in the folk music world, Penny, besides an inspiring presence, is a remarkable writer, performer, and teacher.
