So here it is: Beginning in May, I&#8217;m hosting a house concert-like series at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corralitosculturalcenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Corralitos Cultural Center<\/a>. We&#8217;ve dubbed each of these &#8220;An Evening of Songs and Stories&#8221;, since we&#8217;ll feature artists who&#8217;ve been gracious enough to let me chat with them for the <a href=\"http:\/\/ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D216646993\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; podcast<\/a>. There&#8217;ll be one concert a month from May through August. I&#8217;ll play in a couple of them and just host the other two. This series runs as a benefit to both the cultural center and the artists who perform at it.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re kicking things off Sunday May 2nd with two of my favorite local people: Award-winning songwriters <a href=\"http:\/\/alisafineman.com\/alisakimball.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Alisa Fineman and Kimball Hurd<\/a>. They were on the &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; podcast way back in <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/index.php?blog=2&amp;title=songs_and_stories_35_alisa_fineman_and_k&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\" target=\"_blank\">episodes #35 and #36<\/a>. Alisa and Kimball bring gorgeous harmonies, great songwriting, and a plethora of instruments. Plus, they&#8217;re just charming as heck onstage.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/press\/docs\/alisa_kimball_may2nd.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/flyer.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Click for downloadable flyer<\/strong><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Doors open at 5:00 pm.
