Local Folkies at Work

Cathy Barton, Dave Para, and Bob Dyer

Cathy Barton, Dave Para, and Bob Dyer, festival organizers and popular Missouri minstrels, will be back for concert sets on both nights. Cathy and Dave played some great festivals last year and are currently at work on a new album of river songs, a project they have contemplated for years. An all-instrumental album they recorded with fiddler friend Joe Phaneuf is out this year. Bob will be spending more time than ever on the rivers of America this year; he has taken the enviable job as a river historian on the majestic steamboat American Queen.

Big Muddy Folk Festival, Boonville, Missouri, April 7-8, 2000
