Folk music series to kick off season By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A concert series dedicated to folk music kicks off its fall season Saturday with a performance by A nd r e w McKnight. McKnight, a former environ- mental engineer, blends acoustic folk, blues and bluegrass with environ- mentalism, said Bob McWilliams, organizer of the West Side Folk series. "If you're into acoustic guitar, Andrew really is a great player." McWilliams said. The star-studded fall season will also include concerts by Dar Williams, Greg Brown, Richard Shindell and Cheryl Wheeler. McWilliams said these artists and others came to Lawrence because West Side Folk provided a setting where the artists and audience formed a community. Most concerts have a student discount, and many take place at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. At all ECM shows, 10 percent of the ticket and concession sales goes toward the Alternative Spring Break program. West Side Folk grew out of a few concerts McWilliams had at his house in 1994. The second concert featured Dar Williams, who had just released her first album. The concert drew 35 people, and the word spread. By 1996, West Side Folk was a nonprofit organization with a board of directors and is run entirely on volunteer support. "It's really good to support this," said Sheri Martin, Topea senior and volunteer for West Side Folk. "The folk scene is less popularized, so it's harder to promote and for it to be a success. And the music is very good." next Dar Williams. very good. McWilliams said he thought many of the lesser known artists on the series such as Barbara Kessler are the "It's a labor of love, but I also love the fact that it's helping to provide the community an alternative way to listen to music," McWilliams said. "It's what I've been able to give back to the community."
