Arts on Fire LIVE: Ken Hardley and Mandy Andrews - Oct 2, 2021

The performance was broadcast live at 8 p.m. on 107.9 FM and also video streamed live on the WRFA Youtube Channel and Facebook page. Ken Hardley and Mandy Andrews are a unique musical duo, to say the least. As a singer- songwriter, Hardley’s presence as an entertainer, storyteller, and musician will draw you in as few performers can. Long-time WRFA listeners know Ken for being the host and driving force of the popular Rolling Hills Radio and Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour programs that were broadcast on WRFA. As a classically trained cellist, Andrews brings an unusual, spellbinding atmosphere to Hardley’s music. She provides compelling counter- melodies, delicate textures, as well as beauty that skates and weaves. There’s no description that fully captures the ambiance this pair creates. You have to experience it to understand it. ABOUT AOF LIVE: Arts On Fire LIVE brings you the very best of Chautauqua County’s local artists via a live, in-studio performance!
