For the past 56 years, Bob Rubin and Steve Ziemak have been performing music but usually not together — until 2014 that is.

That year, they formed Take2 and began performing as a duo, playing songs from Stephen Foster to the Beatles to Linda Ronstadt’s “Blue Bayou.”

At 5:45 p.m. this Friday, Take2 with Rubin on mandolin and Ziemak on acoustic guitar will perform on the outdoor stage on the Central Avenue side of the Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main St., Wellsboro. Among the mix of American standards will be show tunes to pop tunes along with several originals. This concert is free. Donations are appreciated.

“We’re doing our favorites,” said Ziemak. “We run the gamut from George Gershwin to George Harrison. Joining us on several selections will be guest artists Daria Guelig on hammered dulcimer and Dave Driskell on clarinet,” he said.

“Our performance will feature instrumental and vocal pieces, such as Beatles tunes, like ‘Michelle’; originals ‘A Path to Colton Point’ and ‘Gigi;’ along with a host of others like ‘It Had To Be You,’ ‘Tea for Two,’ ‘Memphis,’ ‘Autumn Leaves’ and medleys,” said Ziemak.

In the early 1960s when Rubin was 12 and Ziemak was 16 and they were growing up as neighbors in Levittown, they first performed together before going their separate ways.

In 1980, the Rubins moved to Charleston Township and opened Whitneyville Glass, their own business. Ziemak and his brother bought property next to each other in 1983 and by 1984 had both moved to Charleston Township, too.

During those years, Rubin and Ziemak performed together on occasion through their work with bands and on music projects until becoming Take2.

For this free concert, bring lawn chairs and sit on the grass in front of the outdoor stage or on Central Avenue, which will be closed to traffic between Main Street and the Warehouse Theatre to provide space for social distancing.
