Three gifted musicians provided a St. Patrick’s Day treat in Cedaredge. Ellen Stapenhorst, David Starr and Roy Martin were in top form in the intimate setting of the AppleShed on Saturday, March 17.

Spring came a few days early in Cedaredge, as local favorites David Starr, Ellen Stapenhorst and Roy Martin took center stage to perform before a capacity crowd of music buffs on Saturday, March 17, at the AppleShed Arts Complex and Gallery in Cedaredge.

The concert featured original songs from all three artists. Ellen Stapenhorst presented "Every Reason" and "Grand Junction" while Roy Martin offered up "Heron Flight" and "Leigha." David Starr stirred the audience with "Change Your Mind" and "Pilgrim Plain." The three also teamed up for their favorite covers such as "Let The Mystery Be" by Iris DeMent.

The last song of the night, "Home Grown Tomatoes," was dedicated to a dear friend and one of their greatest fans, Rev. Max Kendrick, who passed away in January.

Cedaredge residents, Gini Moseley and Jean Blanning (Ellen's newest fans) both agreed that the concert was simply "great."
