ABOUT ARIELLA ST. CLAIR

I have been producing shows in one form or another since the mid-70s when I joined a collective in Kansas City called The Fool Killer.  We owned a theater and put-on one-act plays and folk music every weekend. Before long I was hooked on the excitement of meeting musicians and introducing audiences to great music. 1978 found me in Lawrence, KS, where I became part of a collective running a vegetarian restaurant called Sister Kettle.  Tuesday night I ran a coffeehouse, booking the musicians who had played at the Fool Killer the weekend before.  Admission was probably under $2.  (Remember those days?) Several years later, I landed in Santa Cruz, CA, during my "holier-than-thou" days.  Folk music wasn't spiritual enough, so I switched to New Age concerts held at the Unity Church. When I finally decided what I wanted to be when I grew-up, I went back to college, graduating with a BS in public relations from San Jose State University  in 1993.  After a short sojourn in Mount Shasta City, CA, which I discovered was too small to support the concerts I wanted to produce, I moved to Ashland, OR. When the board of the Ashland Folk Music Club asked me to produce concerts for them, I realized I had come back to the music I love.  So, for three years most of St. Clair Productions' shows were produced for the Ashland Folk Music Club.  When the Ashland Folk Music Club decided to only produce contra dances, St. Clair Productions took over the concert series.
