Squirrel Butter to perform in Coyle

COYLE — The Seattle band Squirrel Butter will return to Coyle to perform the duo’s trademark mixture of old-time, bluegrass, blues and country music at Concerts in the Woods at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Admission to the concert at the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center, 923 Hazel Point Road, will be by donation.

Complimentary cookies and coffee will be served at intermission to guests.

“Squirrel Butter is an amazing duo that has found a way to channel that old time sound of Appalachia and have crafted it to life today in their genuine, heartfelt music using vocal harmonies, banjo, fiddle, guitar and stepdance,” said series organizer Norm Johnson

“It’s fun, foot-tapping music that everyone, young and old, can enjoy.”

The husband and wife duo of Charlie Beck and Charmaine Slaven performed in Coyle in February 2017 and October 2016.

The two met at the Portland Old Time Music Gathering in 2005 and for 13 years they have contributed to the music and dance communities in the Pacific Northwest.

They’re both members of the string band The Tallboys, and started the country dance band The Lucky Shots.
