UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake continues its 2014 series of “Concerts with Conversation” on Saturday, Feb. 15, with an informal concert by the renowned folk duo of Alisa Fineman and Kimball Hurd.

The Valentine’s weekend event starts at 7:30 p.m. in the intimate Meeting House next to the hotel.

“We’ve had great times here with the folk duo of Rita Hosking and Sean Feder,” said Tallman owner Bernie Butcher. “When I heard reports from Don Coffin and others at the recent Kate Wolf Festival that Alisa and Kimball were just as good, I jumped at the chance to invite them up to Lake County.”

Based in Santa Cruz, Alisa and Kimball travel extensively and are favorites in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas.

They’ve earned national acclaim for their world music repertoire and songwriting abilities as well as their engaging personalities. Vocal harmonies are nicely blended with instrumental prowess on guitar, mandolin, dobro and banjo.

Following a recent performance, the Monterey Bay Weekly commented that “Alisa and Kimball are a fresh duo with gorgeous harmonies, an exquisite blend of acoustic instruments and insightful lyrics that speak directly to the heart ... They replenish the world with beauty on every level and are good medicine for the soul.”

Subject to limited availability, concert tickets at $25 plus tax may be purchased by calling the Tallman Hotel at 707-275-2244, Extension 0.
