Tom Eure and Amelia Osborne, a lively folk duo from the Charlotte area whose music melds Celtic, Appalachian and spiritual influences musicians, will present an afternoon concert at the Parish Hall of the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. The event is free and open to the public, but donations will be gratefully accepted to further the ongoing Friends of Music & the Arts series.

Going on 10 years performing together, the duo has a style that fluidly changes from one instrument to the next, swirling together fiddles, banjos, bodhran, mandolins, guitars, and rousing vocal harmony. They flourish as artists, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters and activists — always striving to paint a picture that is fresh and uplifting. “A Promise of Hope” is their second album with a third on its way.

Free parking and handicapped access are available. The Parish Hall is across Rutledge Drive from the church at 1905 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock. For more information call the church office at 828-693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.
