Laughing Bird in Concert!
We have great news for our Kite Festival on July 25th! Laughing Bird has agreed to perform at our event!
Tupe and Janey Wing Kenyon have performed and recorded together since 1978. They have traveled from Alaska to Guatemala, and from California to Carolina to Europe, performing at fairs, festivals, universities, resorts, cruise ships and community concerts.
Laughing Bird's show is a lively mix of original contemporary folk music with overtones of country, bluegrass, and light acoustic rock. At their performance, you will hear original songs that will "wow" you, songs of the heart, and songs that will make you laugh.
Laughing Bird's songs are carefully crafted to include compelling lyrics accompanied by accomplished acoustic musicianship. Tupe plays acoustic guitar and harmonica. Janey plays mountain dulcimer, bass guitar and various percussion instruments. Tupe and Janey both obviously enjoy singing, and most of their songs feature tight harmony arrangements. Their show is spirited with surprises such as off-the-wall comedy, a nine-inch dancing clog doll, and even a little yodeling.
Tupe and Janey have recorded ten albums through the years and a concert DVD featuring their original songs. Original, refreshing, and entertaining is a good description of Laughing Bird's show, but their real magic is warm, genuine, and unpretentious energy the project from the stage. Tupe and Janey clearly love what they do, and it shows!
Join us at the 2009 Mercer House Fite Festival on July 25th and enjoy the tunes of Laughing Bird!

The Kite Festival has a professional!
Hello All
We have great news! Mercer House has finally recruited a professional "kiter" to perform at the 2009 Mercer House Kite Festival. Kelly "Sky" Reed and his wife are making multiple presentations throughout the festival. 
Sky will be flying an 8 Stack Power Kite. Each kite has a 10' wingspan and the total stack can pull 500 pounds and more . Our Wyoming wind may pull him across town!
Sky will be flying an 8 Stack Power Kite. Each kite has a 10' wingspan and the total stack can pull 500 pounds and more . Our Wyoming wind may pull him across town! Sky will also perform with Duel Line Sport Kites. These kites allow a performance that resembles dancing or ballet and they are often correographed to music. Sky will be bringing a Quadline Kite that I can only describe as, amazing! This is a must see!
Sky and his wife are from Austin Texas where they run their business, Kite Demos and their other ventures. They have been with the Texas kiting community and the International Kite Industry for over 12 years. Sky has traveled from coast to coast and had opportunities to travel to Columbia, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, China, Japan, and Malaysia making Kite Flying Presentations.
We are so excited to have them at our event and hope that you are too! Stay tuned for more details!
