April will be a special month this year, as 3RFS presents TWO concerts!

Coming next:

Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 7:30 PM

Curtis and Loretta!

Curtis Teague and Loretta Simonet met each other on the beach in Santa Cruz, California, in the spring of 1977. They began singing and playing together, and they have been making beautiful music together ever since! They married in 1987 in Mexico and moved to Minneapolis, which is their home base, though they still do a lot of traveling and touring around the country with their little dog Lulu. They do a lot of traditional folk and nostalgic music, but because Loretta is prolific songwriter and Curtis also occasionally writes songs too, they are also well know as singer/songwriters as well as versatile performers with amazing harmonies, and accomplished musicians with an eclectic arsenal of instruments: Loretta is a harpist, guitar kazoo player, and Curtis plays guitar, mandocello, banjo, ukelele, and percussion.

Curtis and Loretta now hail from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and are not strangers to our 3RFS audiences, as they have been dropping in on us periodically for the past 25+ years. They have performed at 3RFS concerts, coffeehouses, house concerts and several times at Tumbleweed, where Loretta has been a song contest finalist several times. During 2020 they were a part of our virtual “Homebound Holiday Concert,” from their cozy home in snowy Minnesota.

Curtis and Loretta are known for their original songs that tell stories about their own families, people they have met in their 40 years of touring, and the discoveries made while searching for heartwarming and heartbreaking tales about the struggles and triumphs of real people living ordinary and extraordinary lives. Their latest CD “Lift the World” features songs written during the pandemic, and celebrates what was really important and impactful during that time of discovery.

This concert is Saturday, April 27th, 2024. It begins at 7:30 pm in the sanctuary of All Saints' Episcopal Church, 1322 Kimball Avenue in Richland. Park in the back parking lot and enter through the basement. Tickets are $20 general admission and $15 for members of 3RFS and can be purchased at the door or in advance HERE.
