Their sound includes a country style mixed with rock and pop.
Darrell Adams and Marisa Dawson have been seen playing/singing individually in various bands and duos for many years, and after meeting each other while both filling in for the same band. After realizing there was great chemistry between them, they decided to join forces to create the successful duo that they have today. Do not let the name fool you, as DMC Duo also expands and performs as a trio and a full band.

Worldwide Make Music Day at I.U.13 Building Parking Lot
Free | 11-11:45 a.m., Saturday, June 21 | 1 Cumberland St., Lebanon
This is a worldwide performance day of making music, on street corners, anywhere outside, for free, for everyone around the world.
“It all started 43 years ago in France.
In 1982, Jack Lang and his staff at the Ministry of Culture dreamed up an idea for a new kind of musical holiday. They imagined a day where free music would be everywhere, all around each city: street corners, parks, rooftops, gardens, and store fronts.
And, unlike a typical music festival, anyone and everyone would be invited to join and play music or host performances. The event would take place on the summer solstice, June 21, and would be called Fête De La Musique. (In French, the name means both “festival of music” and “make music.”)
Amazingly enough, this dream has come true. The Fête has turned into a true national holiday: the country shuts down on the summer solstice and musicians take over. Almost 11% of French people (7 million people) have played an instrument or sung in public for the Fête de la Musique, and 64% of the country (43 million people) come out each year to listen.
Four decades later, the holiday has spread throughout the world and is now celebrated in more than 2,000 cities across dozens of countries.”
The Perseverance Band of Lebanon, organized in 1857, will be performing on this day in honor of this worldwide event.

Learn how to clean fleece, prepare it for spinning, spin on a drop spindle first, and then spin on a spinning wheel. Learn how to dye this beautiful fiber using natural dyes over an open fire. With these dyed fibers, you can learn to warp a loom and weave items. In this class, learn how to weave on a rigid heddle loom and turn your yarn into a beautiful creation.
Experience the sense of pride, accomplishment, and the tugging of the past by joining us in this endeavour. Here’s what you can expect: You will learn the basics of how to warp a loom and create a basic weave. In this class, we will be focusing on making a scarf.
This class is two days, two hours each day. We have donated yarn, but you are more than welcome to bring your own for your creation. You can bring your own loom or rent one for $10, thanks to the Walk in Arts Center in Schuylkill Haven. Request when booking your ticket for the class.
