RedBird Duo and Tim Dion to take center stage at Arts Center

BERLIN – On Sunday, July 19 the show will start with two very nice people - make that three very nice people. One of the guys is a seasoned musician/humorist in the Garrison Keillor tradition. A down to earth Mid-westerner with a store of funny songs and stories and a wry outlook on life. Add a beautiful New England woman singer/guitarist with a warm, lovely voice and a heart full of love and joie de vivre. Her selections are smooth classics from the songbooks of Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Eva Cassidy and other beloved female artists. Put them together and you have a fun and uplifting afternoon of entertainment that's family friendly and custom made for an intimate theater, special event, wedding, back yard or living room. The Gallaghers' humor, warmth, and music will leave you smiling.

But wait, there's more. There's another guy! Tim Dion is a well-known musician from Northern New Hampshire. He works as a solo performer all across New England, playing acoustic guitar and singing. He has also worked as a vocalist and guitarist with several bands over the past thirty years.
