Biales opens
DCCA’s Artists Series Season
Versatile singer Lisa Biales will open Darke County Center for the
Arts' 2015-2016 Artists Series season at Greenville's newly renovated
Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall on Saturday, October 10, performing a mix
of songs ranging from blues to folk to American standards; the show
starts at 8 p.m. “We wanted our first presentation in the beautifully
restored Memorial Hall to be truly special; Lisa's concert will
definitely fit that description,” said Keith Rawlins, Artistic Director
for DCCA. “Lisa absolutely loves to sing, and she has a great voice
that can sing anything and everything,” Rawlins stated.
According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, this is not the
first time DCCA has presented Lisa Biales (pronounced Be-Alice); her
performance as part of DCCA's Coffeehouse Series a few years ago was
enthusiastically received and earned requests for the artist's return.
Additionally, Big Song House, the intimate performance space the artist
has created within her home near Oxford, was the destination for a DCCA
On the Road event last season. “However, Lisa is not only a local
favorite,” Ms. Jordan explained. “Her music has gained international
fame and her recordings have been nominated for prestigious awards;
Lisa's concerts are truly amazing, generating the warmth and joy that
can only be experienced in a live performance,” Jordan concluded.
The Lisa Biales concert is sponsored by Jim and Enid Goubeaux.
Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state
tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and
cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating
support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as
funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust
Fund.
Tickets for the show cost $20, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA
at 937-547-0908 or at DCCA's office located within Greenville
Public Library, as well as online at www.CenterForArts.net. If any
remain by showtime, tickets will also be available at the door prior to
the performance.
