EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House Arts Café welcomes Same Blood Folk on Saturday, April 4. Same Blood Folk consists of cousins Zachary and Jenny Collins and their new drummer, Brendan O’Connor. They perform a wide variety of folk and rock originals with a style that resonates with the roots of Americana and traditional music, bluegrass and rock.
Zachary Collins displays his poetic lyrics and mesmerizing guitar style. He moves easily from acoustic to electric guitar, mandolin, and banjo.  Jenny Collins brings her richly textured voice and innovative songwriting to the band’s distinctly mature sound. Rich and clear as honey, her vocals add depth and character to songs she’s written and delightfully balanced harmony to duets. 
Their innovative songwriting made them 2007 winners of the EOH Youth Showcase of Singers/Songwriters. They also add some covers to their shows to pay homage to songwriters they admire though adding a personal twist. Same Blood Folk has developed a strong following in the Central New York area.  The band has also had the honor of sharing the stage with names such as Gandolf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams, Fetish Lane, Ron Palmer of Harry Chapin, and The McKrells.
Erik Jensen of Upstate LIVE Music Guide says of Same Blood Folk: “Very swampy, incredibly catchy, and unbelievably adept, vocally and musically - this band has Grassroots Festival written all over it!”  See them at the EOH Arts Café this Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 adults and $4 student. The Café will have reserved seating for this performance, and seating is limited, so call early to reserve a seat!  Delicious refreshments will be available in the Kitchen, including hot and cold drinks and desserts.  For more information, or to reserve your space: call (315) 691-3550.
 Earlville Opera House events are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and through the generosity of Earlville Opera House members.
