Steveston Folk Guild: Earle Peach and Illiteratty
Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site: Chinese Bunkhouse
5180 Westwater Drive
We are proud to welcome Illiteratty back to SFG again. Last years concert was very memoreable. The band plays a wide range of musical styles, such as original swing, European cabaret, celtic, rockabilly, and off course folk. The full compliment of guitar, mandolin, violin, standup base, and small percussion allows for music which is compassionate, funny, angry, idiosyncratic, original and extremely varied. Well that definitely is a mouthful. Earle has been writing songs since he was 12 years old. He has more self penned songs in his arsenal than the band can perform in one show, so expect a great time with foot tapping, hand clapping, and moments that will become memories.
