Valley Harmony Sings at Tioga Trails Cafe Saturday, August 6, 2011

Once again (our third time) Valley Harmony entertains diners at Tioga Trails Cafe, 50 Lake Street (on the corner of Main Street), Owego, New York, from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Repertoire included "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," "The Banana Boat Song,""That Lonesome Road," "Barbara Ann" and more. Come and join us for a fun evening. One of the servers, a young man probably in his twenties, came up to us and complimented our singing, particular the Beatles songs "eight Days a Week" and "Yesterday" because he knew them and could sing along. A patron came up as she was leaving, along with her dog, whom she said was a "musical" dog, to tell us how much she enjoyed our music. And George Swaney, the proprietor was particularly pleased because he said, "The diners really like your music."

The Valley Four Announce Their Name Change

At the Third Annual Community Concert the Valley Four announced that they were changing their name to Valley Harmony. Erik has been with us for well over a year, doing more than being just an alternate. We have also introduced numerous five-part songs to our repertoire. So from now on we're VALLEY HARMONY!

Third Annual Community Concert a Great Success

The Third Annual Community Concert "was easily the best church sponsored concert I've ever seen," said one audience member. The standing ovation at the end also indicated the feelings of the rest of the audience. The Valley Four's renditions of "Heartbreak Hotel," "Plovi Barko," and "God Bless the U.S.A." in particular delighted those attending. And singing "Lida Rose" and "Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier" with gust soprano Christina Salasny also received enthusiastic applause as did Christina's renditions of "My Heart Will Go On" and "How Could I Ever Know."
Also dazzling the audience were performances by Aric Phinney on the piano, Jewel Griffith on the organ and the woodwind ensemble of Laurie Holdridge, Nancy Falconer, Christine Cumming and Susan Zanovitch.
