So great is the popularity of the contemporary Christian concerts at Frink Park in Clayton these days that even when this Sunday’s event, with Christopher Hopper and his wife Jennifer, had to be moved inside to the Lyric Coffee House because of the threat of rain,  there was a spillover crowd – full house inside and two or three dozen  on the James Street sidewalks outside.  The event was a success!!

‘Meet me at the Lyric!’ for an evening of music and entertainment with Scott Shipley. He will being playing the guitar Saturday evening at 7:30pm.  Be sure to enjoy a warm latte!

Scott Shipley has been writing music ever since he first picked up a guitar way back in the late 70’s. He released his first CD, Sentimental Fool, in 2006. His song, Partners In Crime, is included on NCPR’s just released Music Heard Up North CD of the best of North Country musicians. He appeared in Clayton this summer as one of the 15 musical acts selected to perform in the Music Heard Up North concert series. Scott feels no particular allegiance to any style of music He is perfectly comfortable stealing from any style that suits his fancy. So expect to hear a variety of styles and influences.

‘Meet me at the Lyric’

“I’ve been a singer, guitarist, percussionist, and songwriter for Celtic-American folk rock band Emerald Rose since 1996; my major instrument for the band is the bodhran, or traditional Irish frame drum. Being a singer-songwriter, however, has been part of my musical life since I was a teenager, and my solo endeavors return to this root. Many of my songs take their inspiration from the mystical path, Earth-centered spirituality, and Celtic mythology. I also continue to sing songs from the Celtic and American folk traditions. In addition, I’m a storyteller, stage magician, and former actor and dancer, so I have many performance skills to draw on.”
