CRYSTAL FALLS – Mustard’s Retreat brings what has been described as “music to cure what ails you” to Crystal Theatre Saturday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m.
The witty, charming duo has been delighting audiences through stories and songs for more than 40 years.  With guitars, dulcimer, electric bass, mandolin, harmonica and pennywhistle, Libby Glover and David Tamulevich give audiences things to laugh about for days to come and remember for years.  
Mustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoy and care about, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves, connecting with their audiences as if they were family. 
They have traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6,000 shows, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage.
Critics call their performances joyful and uplifting as well as intelligent and insightful. The duo have begun referring to their long career as “Defiantly Hopeful” – a declaration that describes what the music means to them.
 “Folk music is, at its heart, defiantly hopeful.” Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s, at the confluence of Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences, than fame or money: this is our community of choice, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.”
Advanced tickets for the event may be purchased online at thecrystaltheatre.org, by phone at 906-875-3208, or in person at Stage Left weekday mornings 9 a.m. to noon.
