During the Golden Afternoons program at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11, the 3Ds will give a concert in the lobby at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.

The program is free. Anyone who is 55 years of age or older is welcome to attend. Free cookies and coffee or tea will be provided.

The 3Ds include David Milano on guitar; David Driskell on clarinet, flute, whistle and musical saw; Daria Lin-Guelig on hammered dulcimer and concertina; and Anne Acker on upright bass. They will play a variety of folk, jazz, Celtic, old-time and Americana songs.

In late 2016, eight years ago, the 3Ds came into being when Daria and the two Davids wondered what might emerge if they blended their distinctly varied musical backgrounds.

Lin-Guelig on her hammered dulcimer delivered traditional old-time and Celtic music. A multi-instrumentalist, Driskell added jazz and ragtime, and Milano on his finger-style guitar introduced folk, pop, and Americana. 

Their genre-blending experiment gave each of the three an opportunity to stretch their musical legs, and happily resulted in a unique ensemble group with an uncommonly engaging and diverse musical repertoire. 

In May of 2022, Anne Acker joined, adding her upright bass to the mix.
