Please join us on Saturday October 5th at 7pm as we welcome Louise Mosrie and George Mallas to the JCC in Sherman!

Louise Mosrie grew up in McEwen, TN on a cattle farm - riding horses and writing poetry. She began writing songs after college while working in TV/radio in Knoxville.

Louise started writing songs about the South – what she knew and where she grew up. In 2008, she began working on a new album eventually to be called “Home” because she’d come full circle in her “voice” as a writer. The album was a mix of bluegrass, country and folk and as she weaved in lush stories and songs about southern life.She ended up winning top awards at Kerrville Folk Festival, Wildflower! Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. “Home” debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ charts in January 2010 and went on to be one of the most played albums that year for that chart. In 2014 she released her second album, 'Lay it Down.' An album of love, loss and surrender and produced by Cliff Eberhardt.

George Mallas is a Singer/Songwriter based in North Salem, NY.  Having been a student of the piano since age 6, the instrument is a natural extension of who he is. His experiences in life, love and family have profoundly inspired his songs, his style, and his passion for playing.George was influenced by some of the great singer/songwriters of his youth, namely Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Cat Stevens. His songwriting started at this time during his early teen years.

  After a hiatus from writing while his two sons were young, George has recorded three full length albums of original music since 2015 and is currently in the process of recording his fourth titled 'Within These Walls.' George writes of love, longing and redemption amongst other subjects. 

  George has graced the stages of The Bitter End, The Towne Crier, Uncle Cheefs and Cafe Lena to name a few. His melodic piano based songs touch the heart strings.
