“Hybrid Folk” is a term coined to describe Doug's style of original music.  Audiences come away from performances warmed, amused and inspired.  Doug and Shelley will be joined by Dave Fondale on bass and one of West Virginia's most accomplished dobro players, Chris Stockwell.

Dana Sutton is a 15-year-old, homeschooled student living in Sharpsburg, MD.  Cheryl Mansley, who produces the Blue Moon Sundays concert series and teaches the HomeGrown Kids Educational Program, first got to hear Sutton's ethereal voice and gentle piano playing when Sutton played for her during their lunch breaks while homeschooling.  Impressed with Sutton's natural gift for music, Mansley offered her an opening spot for this show.

Dana has been playing piano for 7 years and been singing since before she can remember.  She was a member of the Frederick Children's Chorus for 5 years, and traveled to New York City with them once to perform.  She also recently started taking voice lessons.   "I've always had an ear for music," says Sutton, "and began picking songs out on the piano when I was about four.  Over the past year, I've been teaching piano to myself, and I hope to soon start writing some of my own pieces.   

I have a very wide taste in music, from metal/grunge artists like Marilyn Manson, to acoustic/pop artists like Regina Spektor.  I have recently overcome my fear of singing in public, and I am very excited to be playing at the Blue Moon!" 

Well, get ready, because here comes another budding young artists!  And, not only that, Dana has written her first song and will be performing it at this show!
