SONS OF THE NEVER WRONGsons2

Sons of the Never Wrong are a folk trio from Chicago made up of Bruce Roper, Deborah Lader, and Sue Demel. The band has been creating original “turbo-charged folk music” for 15 years to a cult-like national following. With their different take on three part harmony on top of witty, whimsical songs, Sons’ style springs from a tradition you’d swear you’ve heard, but this just ain’t your grandpop’s folk music.

The Son’s 5 CD releases have brought them stunning national and international reviews as well as extensive radio-play. It is their live performances though that win the audience’s hearts. The group can barely stand still on stage and insta-choreography results in a non-stop show of stories, dancing, and odd-ball humor. Yet it is when the three step up to the mic and belt out one of their many gorgeously- arranged songs, that you know you are in for something extra special.

A kind of Twin Peaks version of Peter, Paul and Mary, the songs are wacky, original & uplifting, combining exquisite vocal harmonies which spill and spiral all over the place, glorious melodies and…er… unique lyrical perspective

Anne Hills at World Music Company

Anne Hills has, in the words of the Chicago Tribune, “one of the most glorious voices in all of contemporary folk music,” and she’s been called the heir apparent to Judy Collins. Born in India as the daughter of missionaries, raised in Michigan, and now based in Pennsylvania, Anne has been a folk-music institution for more than three decades now with her soaring, crystal-clear soprano and her innovative original songs.

She came of age as part of Chicago’s folk scene, and she has never stopped experimenting and searching: among her many collaborations are those with jazz musicians and with theatrical presenters. Anne’s 2007 album “Ef You Don’t Watch Out” features her own settings of ten poems by the bard of Indiana, James Whitcomb Riley, and you can also pick up a copy of her recently reissued 1995 classic, “Angle of the Light.” We are thrilled to have her back performing in our Concert Series.
