Touring balladeer and songwriter Daniel Boling will perform Aug. 31 at the Los Alamos Jewish Center for a free concert benefiting Los Alamos’ local food pantry LA Cares.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the concert is 6-7 p.m. Light refreshments will be served after the concert. Additionally, at the end of the evening, the public is invited to attend havdalah, the brief, weekly ritual of spices, braided candle, and wine which marks the end of the Jewish Sabbath.

Los Alamos Jewish Center members Richard and Sophia Skolnik are sponsoring the concert, which is free and open to the public (adults and children 7-and-older please).

Based in Albuquerque, Boling is the newest member of the iconic folk group The Limelighters. Boling plays guitar, mandolin and banjo. His songs are warm, endearing and often amusing “musical stories”. First-place winner of the 2017 Woody Guthrie Songwriting Contest, Boling has been nominated for — and won — a number of New Mexico Music awards, and has released five CDs. His repertoire includes 15 songs he wrote with the legendary folk singer/songwriter Tom Paxton, and one song written with Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary.

The Los Alamos Jewish Center is the community’s resource for Jewish worship, education, life-cycle events, and social gatherings.
