The Green Guitar Folk House Presents:

Crow and Gazelle at Green Guitar Folk house 2024

Crow and Gazelle

Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 7 p.m.


Crow and Gazelle, the name and banner for the musical partnership of Mike McClure and Chrislyn Lawrence, is a hymnodic, moving collaboration borne out of the connection between two people healing, loving, and growing together. Their songs — built around their entangled close harmonies and sparse, reverent acoustic instrumentation — are wrought out of the love they have come to find for themselves and for each other.

Their debut outing, “As Above Now So Below,” released in April 2024, is an album centered on acceptance and growth in the face of pain … and on embracing the sacred nature within each and every one of us. 


The album takes its name from a well known axiom in an ancient Greek Hermetic text: “As above, so below; as below, so above.” The message: the distance between the divine and the human is shorter than we think.

“From their lyrics to their stage presence and delivery, they take you on a deep emotional journey, and always leave your with a sense of hope and understanding … Bottom line: Crow and Gazelle spread radical love.”

Opening: The Layton Hollow Gals

The Layton Hollow Gals perform the Johnny Mullins Collection Melinda Mullins Betsy Mae Green Guitar Folk House

Melinda Moon Mullins, Betsey Mae, and Emily Higgins are the Layton Hollow Gals, named after the birthplace of Melinda’s father, the Ozarks’ Grammy-nominated songwriter Johnny Mullins

The former elementary school janitor, Johnny penned hit songs for decades for the likes of Loretta Lynn, Porter Wagoner, and Emmylou Harris, among many other artists. He was summoned to Nashville, but refused to leave his beloved Ozark home. 

His daughter Melinda has made it her legacy mission since 2013 to share her late father’s body of work. She unearthed much from “the shoebox stash” of old cassette tapes containing previously undiscovered songs. 

The Layton Hollow Gals perform Johnny’s songs with harmony, passion, and anecdotes only Melinda could know.

They are excited to share songs from the 2024 release of The Johnny Mullins Collection, Volume Two.

Where is the Green Guitar Folk House?

Green Guitar Folk House events are sponsored by Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universalist Church and held in its sanctuary, next to the railroad tracks in old downtown Lenexa, Kansas.

If you are looking for the “church” look for a school! SMUUCh is in a converted elementary school (yay recycling!) The sanctuary — you might notice — is in a beautiful converted, former school gymnasium.

Although our venue is sponsored by SMUUCh, it is not a church event. 

The series is open to the public. Youth are welcome to attend. These are all-ages shows

Green Guitar Folk House is located at
9400 PFlumm, Lenexa, Kan.

Look for the big Green Guitar!
