Sounds LikeThe best of bluegrass and gospel... but MUCH MORE FUN!

Here's Singleton Street performing By the Mark at the Rosemount UMC CD release concert.



And here's I Saw the Light



And here's one more song from that performance, The Harvest, where Chuck talks briefly about living with autism. Now you can see why spreading hope about autism one of our causes.



To see some Singleton Street articles on faith, music and autism, head over to www.artdeanne.com/Articles.html.

No show would be complete without our favorite closing number... it's Chuck singing When I Lay My Burdens Down. Enjoy!

   About Singleton Street


Welcome to Singleton Street's myspace site! If you've heard us live, you already know we're a lively blend of bluegrass/gospel, old-timey, Irish, even folk music. If you haven't heard us, we invite you to spend some time reading our stories and, if you're interested, to purchase one of our CDs (see our Blog for where and how to order). A little history: Chuck Leyda (guitar) and Sherri Leyda (rhythm guitar) - also husband and wife - spent three years touring Renaissance Festivals around the country before meeting Jimmy Newkirk (bass) and the Celtic band The Banshees. During their three years together playing Irish music, Chuck, Sherri and Jimmy discovered a shared passion for bluegrass and old-time music. They soon became full blown cross-overs. Singleton Street made its MBOTMA debut at the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-time Music Association (MBOTMA) Winter Weekend in March 2000. Craig Evans (frailin) joined the band a couple years later with his open-back banjo and clawhammer style, adding the ability to create the full bluegrass and old-time sounds. We especially enjoy playing Gospel sets which allow us to perform tight, three and four part harmonies, flatpicking guitar leads and banjo drive.

We are reuniting, for good!!!!  It all kicks off with the first ever Hamline Midway Fest in the absolutely beautiful Newell Park in the north end of the Hamline Midway neighborhood. (right where Fairview Ave. ends at the Pierce Butler Route)

The festival starts at 11 am and Pocahontas County goes on at 6:30 pm on the mainstage.

We will also be playing the Festival After Party which is being held at Half Time Rec. over on Front Street in St. Paul.  The After Party costs $5, starts at 8pm and PC plays at 11pm.

We are beyond excited to be returning to the stage together and hope to see as many of you out there as possible!

Be well, be kind, and enjoy the spring!!!
