JUNE 23 SIMMERIN’ STEW String Band, These guys are great fun. They take songs from the early 20th century and have a blast as they pass them on to you. You’ll have a blast yourself. Good time music for all of us. A great way to start our summer season.
JUNE 30 NATE MARSHALL and friends. Nate is a grand songwriter, making the most out of the 21st century. His songs are very current… and then he’ll switch to a traditional song, when you least expect it. Hard to say who else is coming along. We may all find out at the same time. Nateandkatemusic.com
JULY 7 ROSS HOLLOW. Ross Hollow is an Indianapolis-based band bringing thoughtful songs to thoughtful people… with a few unexpected surprises and an attitude to go with them. Their songs are about everything, and they will prove that to you. Facebook.com/rosshollowmusic.
JULY 14 HOOT AND HOLLER. A woman and a man together, writers of new songs that they play in an old style, old timey fashion. For just a minute the music feels very old. Then it sneaks up on you that
they are in the present day. Wonderful harmonies. Hootandhollermusic.com
JULY 21 KORA FEDER. A wonderful writer. Kora Feder played on Bound for Glory with her mother, Rita Hosking, years ago. Now she’s out on her own, with a brand new album of unexpected songs. Strong stuff, makes you think, makes you listen. Korafeder.com
JULY 28 GORDON THOMAS WARD. A singer of songs about historical figures and people that you don’t know, but ought to. It’s his second time on Bound for Glory, and we’re glad to have him back for the last of our summer shows. Nowadays he’s moved to Maine. Gordonthomasward.com
