Cleveland Heights resident Deborah Van Kleef has recently commpleted her first CD, "Work in Progress." Join her to celebrate with live music, refreshments, free kazoos, and of course, CD's available for purchase. Seth Rosen (guitar & mandolin) and Gene Epstein (bass) appear with Deborah.
While "Work in Progress" certainly falls under
the broad heading of "folk," styles represented include old-time, jug band, swing, country blues, and traditional and contemporary folk. Six of the album's 15 cuts were penned by Deborah, with others by Woody Guthrie, Malvina Reynolds, A.P. Carter and others.
Free Times reviewer Peggy Latkovich writes, "Fans of Malvina Reynolds, Peggy Seeger and Hazel Dickens will find much to enjoy here."
