Hi y'all,
well, our big news is that Becca, our vocalist and whistle/flute player, is
engaged to marry Matthew Stevenson in April. They met playing music
together in the BYU folk music ensemble, so of course it's a harmonious
match. Matt plays bazouki and pennywhistle, so be on the lookout for a new
FiddleStickler!

Here are our upcoming performances:

PROVO: Friday, February 21 - 6:30-9pm
13th Annual BYU Hunger Banquet

This annual event mixes a rollicking good time with a powerful message about
world food distribution and hunger. Your admission ticket includes dinner
and lots of entertainment, and your menu will be randomly assigned by the
luck of the draw. Kind of like real life, a few will eat well and
plentifully, while the great majority will make do with less. Entertainment
includes FiddleSticks, Simple People, and Grupo Folklore Latino. All
proceeds go to various humanitarian and development projects worldwide.
Tickets are $6 at the door, or $5 in advance at the WSC info booth or in 273
HRCB. Sponsored by BYU Students for International Development (SID). Learn
