Last week, I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Penney Dawson, Velma Polk and Elaine Lake, soon to be renowned throughout Beaufort and beyond as the Honky Tonk Angels. The three women, who barely knew each other until recently, have become fast friends who finish each other’s sentences, step on each other’s punch lines, and clearly delight in each other’s company. On October 20th, they’ll bring that infectious camaraderie – and some sweet singing chops – to the USCB Center for the Arts in the musical comedy “Honky Tonk Angels.”

One of the unexpected and delightful pleasures we found was the discovery of USCB's Chamber Music Festival Series.

The New York Times dubbed him “the great American romantic,” and at any given moment on this very day a radio station is playing one of his songs.
