SALT LAKE CITY
Friday, June 20, 7pm
FCMA Pearl Awards Ceremony
Cottonwood High School
5717 South 1300 East
Salt Lake City

The “Pearl Awards” are something like the Utah Grammys. We may already have
modestly informed you that FiddleSticks got FOUR final nominations this
year, including two best song nomination, best album, and best recording
group. So we’re excited to be at the event -- so maybe it will be our big
day!

PLUS, let us now modestly tell you that we’ve been invited to perform on
stage during the event. So come cheer us on. FREE general admission
tickets are available to our fans on a “first-come, first-served
basis.”You’ll get to see just about everyone who’s anybody in LDS popular
music, enjoy some cool live performances, and no doubt several bad puns and
a stilted script! But that’s all part of the fun.

This event is more than a concert, it’s a televised gala, and the audience
members are also part of the “cast.” So the producers request “black tie”
formalwear, or at least dark jackets/dark colors. To order tickets, please
e-mail FCMA@..., or call (801)355.1771.


SALT LAKE CITY

Utah Arts Festival
Library Square
400 South 200 East

music, and visual art, all in one place. There’s nothing else like it!

The family Celtic band FiddleSticks presents an energetic fusion of
traditional music with contemporary jazz and folk elements. The band is made
up of three sisters, Becca, Katie and Elizabeth Davis, and their dad, Marco.
They have been playing together as "FiddleSticks" since around 1996. (Oldest
sister Becca, flute/whistle player and vocalist, is "on leave" this week on
her honeymoon.)

FiddleSticks keep up a busy performing schedule, with over 50 performances a
year in Utah and throughout the West. They have been appointed four times to
the Utah Arts Council Performing Arts Tour, are three-time Pearl Award
finalists, and have five CD recordings to their credit. FiddleSticks'
energetic dance reels, sultry love songs, plaintive ballads, and lively jigs
played on fiddle, cello, guitar, drum and hammer dulcimer are a favorite of
local audiences.

FiddleSticks have five recordings in print: The Sampler (1998), Playing
Favorites (1999), Cold Fusion (2000), Time and Again (2001), Cat and the
Fiddle (2002) and a new project underway: "Return to Nauvoo" (a collection
of folk hymns), due to be released in late 2003.

CDs are available at all performances, in Utah bookstores, online at
www.fiddle-sticks.com, or by mail order ($15 for CDs, $10 for cassettes,
plus $2 per order shipping and handling). Buy 2 CDs and get a cassette for
free – just ask!
