A great weekend of music featuring concerts, workshops, singing, jamming, food, and fun!

Featuring:


David Wilcox

“Fueled by brilliantly articulate guitar, an honestly pretty baritone, and deft lyrics, he combines the best of both pop and modern folk aesthetics.”
– Boston Globe
Gathering Time

“Tight harmonies, interesting arrangements, not only of their own songs, but of some surprising tunes as well. ... Gathering Time is on the rise.” – Wanda Fischer, WAMC Hudson Valley Radio
April Verch

“April Verch stands out as a violin virtuoso playing ‘old style’ fiddle, as a step dancer, and a vocalist with a character that combines early jazz with old time.”
– Music Central
Jim Gaudet & The Railroad Boys

“A killer little bluegrass combo … true-life songs, three-chord tunes, hot picking, and tight harmonies.”
– Albany Times Union
Robert Jones & Matt Watroba

“Robert Jones and Matt Watroba not only performed blues incredibly well, but the two Detroit educators gave us a history of American music, taking us from field hollers through the blues on up into rap.”–Elmore Magazine
Bob Zentz (with Ramblin' Conrad's Old-Time Tent)

“Zentz has it all ... a bag of strikingly attractive songs ... a pleasing voice ... and mastery of a variety of stringed things.” – The Scotsman
Mara Levine

“Acoustic country/folk with meaningful lyrics, lovingly interpreted and delivered with a crystal clear, sparkling voice … sensationally good.” – No Fences magazine (Germany)
