Don Armstrong with Liz and Pete – Folk Heritage Series

With 50 years of song-making behind him, and 6 & 12-string guitars and 5-string banjo in hand, Don Armstrong sings songs of the Southwest and Old Mexico, tunes from the ’20’s & ’30’s and his beautiful original songs that have been hailed worldwide. His song “White Mountains Good Bye” was recorded by Bill Staines, while “Santuario” has been recorded by Woods Tea Company, and “Day After The Day Of The Dead” was covered by cowboy singer Jim Jones. A native of Upstate New York, Don Armstrong spent his years as a teen hanging out at Caffè Lena learning his craft from the performers passing through. As a staple of the Caffè Lena community, Don’s shows always feel like a homecoming celebration year after year.

Don, Liz and Pete have been making music together for the past few years, beginning with Pete co-producing Don’s new CD, “Mother Don’t Give Up On Me Now” for the Ronstadt Record Company (he also sang, and played banjo, bass, tuba, drums and percussion on the record), while Liz adds her amazing voice in harmony on many of the songs. It was here they recognized a joy of making music together.
