ralphhardin@gmail.com Trinity in the Fields’ music series continues this weekend with the Honkytonk Beatniks. The community concert will be this Sunday at 2 p.m. at Trinity in the Fields Anglican Church, 100 E. Military Rd. in Marion.

The free concert series is sponsored by DeltaARTS, the Marion Chamber of Commerce, the Marion Advertising & Promotions Commission, and the Evening Times.

The Honkytonk Beatniks are Steve Earnshaw and Guy Venable. The duo will bring their eclectic style to the stage with a full set.

Steve Earnshaw (Upright Bass) is a native of Blackburn England, moved to the States in 1993. Having played bass in a variety of acts including The Stumble, he wanted to travel to America and try his hand in Memphis, TN. Since being there, Steve has played with Butch Mudbone, Metropolitan Avenue, Jimmy Wolf, The Enrights, The Skydogs and Ms. Zeno, The Blues City Café House Band, Billy Gibson, Sean Costello, Delta Highway and the Flyin' Blind. Steve

prides himself as being the only member of the band who can make a proper cup of tea.

Guy Venable (guitar, slide and harmonica) is so darn much fun to be around and play with he has no trouble finding willing participants for any of his many projects. A great musician in his own right, Guy has been plying his trade on Beale Street and in other regional venues for over 20 years. Whether performing with a band, duo, or solo, Guy is always in high demand.

The Honky Tonk Beatniks are a hot little acoustic duo who have entertained crowds everywhere. This class act plays all over the Mid-South in a wide variety of venues including Beale St., The Covington Heritage Festival and Charity Events. The Honky Tonk Beatnicks have breathed life into music from the thirties and forties, and play Dixie Land, Blue Grass, Traditional Blues, John Prine, Dylan and Johnny Cash. As Entertainers, humor plays a large part in their act. The crowd always has as much fun as they do.
