RIK PALTIEI CONCERT June 15, 2024 3pm
WHA concert & Reception - Celebrating Opening Day of the Wanakena History Center
Join the fun and enjoy some great music by attending the concert kicking off the 2024 Wanakena History Center Summer Season. Come a little early to ensure you get a seat. Donations are greatly appreciated as this is a fundraiser for the WHA and there are expenses related to putting on this event.
The Concert begins at 3pm at the Wanakena Church on Second Street.
A reception will follow (about 4:15pm) on the porch of the Wanakena History Center, 21 Second Street, Wanakena NY.
Rik sings and performs both original and traditional songs on a variety of folk instruments, including the banjo, 6 & 12 string guitars, mouth bow, Native American flute and a collection of rare Polish bagpipes. In his shows he features a fun evening of fast banjo picking, exotic instruments, sing-a-longs, original song writing and a little bit of yodeling. He also likes to sprinkle his songs with stories.
