April '12
Musicians Perry Cleaveland and Karl Paisley performed “Three Flavors of Folk Music” on Friday evening April 20th for our Power of Three 2012 Programming Series. Seneca Falls, during the mid-1800s, had a diverse population of Irish and Italian immigrants. Pioneers sang and worked to the rhythm of music. Popular songs were written and sung during the building of the Erie Canal and the construction of the railroad.  Many spiritual songs were also a part of our heritage.

Perry Cleaveland is a SAMMY Award winning mandolinist who also performs lead and harmony vocals, plays the fiddle, guitar and claw hammer banjo. His innovative mandolin playing keeps him in demand as a recording session player throughout New York State.  Perry is currently working on the release of his own original melodies and musings.
