Folknet

The Mountain Rose Concert Series concludes its Fall 2024 season with a concert featuring Cincinnati-based multi-instrumentalists and songwriters Michael Ronstadt and Serenity Fisher.

The show begins at 7:00 pm on Sunday, December 1st at the Standing Rock Cultural Arts,
located at 300 North Water Street in Kent. The doors open at 6:30 and there is a suggested donation of $15, $12 for Folknet members, $5 additional for all the children in a family accompanied by a responsible adult.

Ronstadt and Fisher are individual musical artists who perform solo, with various groups and frequently as a duo. Performing together for the last fifteen years has created a dynamic, truly moving, and expressive duet. Between both songwriters, their material is diverse and reaches far.

Serenity Fisher performs original music with her band Serenity Fisher & The Cardboard Hearts, blending playful pop-rock with a Tim Burton-esque quirkiness. A wordsmith, Serenity Fisher entices stories into becoming songs using truth-telling, highly-visual lyrics, and dreamy melodies. Fisher is a powerhouse singer whose nuanced vocals vary from bluesy belt to sultry whisper, from technical prowess to stripped-down raw emotion. Her piano style is theatrical and passionate. Her music has been compared to Regina Spektor, Tori Amos, and Fiona Apple.

Michael G. Ronstadt (nephew of Linda Ronstadt) is primarily known for his versatility on cello (including finger picking the cello to accompany much of their singing), but also as a songwriter, singer, guitarist and composer/arranger. He has shared the stage with the likes of David Bromberg, Muriel Anderson, Rick Rosas (Crazy Horse), and Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam). As a recording artist, touring and studio musician, and songwriter, he has recorded and appeared on hundreds of albums, including his own solo albums and ensembles.
