We are excited about our next artist appearing here on Tuesday, November 11th. I know we’ve never had anyone on a Tuesday, but that is the only time Iona Fyfe could fit us into her busy touring schedule. It is Veterans’ Day. We hope y’all will be free on that day to come and enjoy her music.

She is a young artist from Scotland. Occasionally, we are lucky enough to book people who are on their way up to big things in the music world. This is one of those times. Iona has toured throughout the UK and Europe, Canada, and Australia. She has performed with the BBC Scottish Symphony as part of the world premiere of Disney/Pixar’s “Brave in Concert” at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

We’d like to welcome back British folksinger, songwriter Rupert Wates on June 28th. If you like thoughtful lyrics in eclectic style, accompanied by intricate guitar, Rupert is the guy for you. His website describes his music as: an eclectic blend of acoustic, melodic art/folk infused with elements of jazz, vaudeville, and cabaret. I’d say that is a pretty good description—or think Nick Drake with lessons.
Rupert is a busy man. He travels all over the country and wins lots of awards for his songwriting. For example, his 2023 CD ‘Elegies’ made the 2023 Top Twenty Album Show on Minerva Radio UK and his 2022 CD ‘For The People’ is named number 7 in the Americana ALBUM OF THE YEAR top 40 by UK periodical Blues Blues.

The concert is June 28th at 7 p.m. Suggested donation is $25. Email us at [email protected] or message us here if you'd like to join us.

Our April concert with Tashina and Tristan Clarridge on violin and cello, along with Tashina's husband, Orin, is just six days away--THURSDAY, April 24th. We don't get a lot of people coming through our area who play some old-time tunes like these. They happen to be on their way to the Texas Fiddle Festival and have decided to gift us with their music along the way. So we hope you'll join us for this special occasion.

Here is a sample of Tashina and Tristan doing an old North Carolina tune, "A Rovin on a Winter's Night".

We have lots of chairs still to fill for this concert so please let us know if you plan to fill one. Bring some friends too.
