Shirl Lawrence & Steve Kaplan (a/k/a Great Blue) will bring their eclectic mix of acoustic treats to the Singer/Songwriter Showcase Series at REV Coffeehouse.
Shirl Lawrence and Steve Kaplan have been singing together for more than three decades. In recent years, their beautifully crafted harmonies have been heard at coffeehouses in their native Hudson Valley. They have been singing at Clearwater festivals for more than a decade as members of the Walkabout Chorus and the Sloopsingers. Their eclectic musical sources include Kate Wolf’s haunting ballads and songs echoing Clearwater’s environmental message. One Woody Guthrie sailor who ought to know said Steve’s “We’ll Make It to Coxsackie” truly described how it felt to be in a Hudson River storm. Listeners often comment about the beautiful sounds Shirl’s voice has graced them with. This duo is now called “Great Blue” after the observant heron they often find during their kayak trips.
