Diamond Someday to perform in Smyrna
SMYRNA – Diamond Someday, a popular bluegrass group, will perform in Smyrna this weekend. The band will perform at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 13 on the bandstand over the library and everyone is invited to come watch in their lawn chairs or in their vehicles.
David Ramay, the mayor of Smyrna, saw Diamond Someday perform recently and thought they would be a great act to bring to Smyrna.
“We saw this bluegrass group last summer and decided to invite them,” he explained. “They play civil war and gospel music ... traditional bluegrass with a banjo and slide guitar.”
“From the Syracuse area comes an experienced group of musicians. Diamond Someday specializes in close three part harmony backed by solid instruments,” states the band’s website. “The group brings a spirited approach to a blend of traditional, original and gospel music. You will enjoy their heartfelt, exciting brand of Bluegrass.”
Shirley Stevens is lead singer and rhythm guitarist and is described in her biography.
“An accomplished musician, her style has been described as energetic and exciting, as well as moving and soulful – one of the finest vocalists out there.”
Other band members include Karen Campolieto, singer and bass player; Ed Vancott, mandolin picker; Dick DeNeve, resonator guitar player; and 15-year-old Sean King, banjo player and singer.
Tom Burr, one of the original founders, started Diamond Someday in 2002. Though he does not perform any more he offers support and provides his studio space to the band so it can record its radio show.
The band is one of the 15-minute monthly radio performances that is featured on Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble on WCNY Radio.
“The Bluegrass Ramble is devoted to three hours of the best of bluegrass and old-time acoustic country music, both from national and regional bands and balladeers,” states the radio show website. Diamond Someday's appearance on the show emphasizes how talented and respected the band is amongst bluegrass fans.
Overall, Ramay expects the event to be a success and is eager to have such a fun community event.
“This should be great fun,” he said.
Beyond musical entertainment, there will also be pies and cookies provided by the ladies of Smyrna United Methodist Church. The performance is free and serves as an opening concert for the Smyrna Citizens Band season, which begins on July 7. The Smyrna Citizens Band is a long-standing community tradition and is in its 96th year.
The event is sponsored by Clippinger Law Offices (Smyrna), Service Pharmacy (Sherburne), and Ede Walker Pottery (Smyrna).
