February 14, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Seth Maynard is well-known throughout the region as a musician, recording studio engineer and producer and teacher. He owns and operates Lone Wolf Productions in Elkins where his credits are numerous, including sound mixing for the award-winning West Virginia PBS show “American Mountain Theater.” Seth has released two CDs, “Osmosis” (2010), a jazz/fusion album with his quartet, and “Make the Season Bright” (2012), a collaboration with other local musicians performing unique versions of holiday favorites. He performs year-round with multiple music groups and as a solo artist.
Rachel Franks is one of five siblings born to a musically rich family boasting three generations of country and mountain music performers residing in the Elkins area for just as long. She is the only person in her family that gravitated to jazz while the rest of the family retained their country and mountain roots. She moved to Charleston to share the stage as top vocalist with local jazz artist Bob Thompson and his Trio and performed memorable shows with the Temptations and the Four Tops.
The duo is well known locally, having performed shows together in restaurants, for weddings, special corporate events and featured shows.
