Brian Keena, an excellent guitar player and singer, will open the show.

Waverly Milor and Jack Roy will follow. Waverly & Jack play deep blues from the hill country of north Mississippi. Waverly sings and plays harmonica; Jack plays homemade and store bought guitars.

Mountain Culture Kombucha

Our neighbors Donnie and Chris of Mountain Culture Kombucha will be there with a sampling of their wares! Bring a chair or blanket — and a glass!

Support for the Haven

Admission to all neighborhood concerts is FREE and open to everyone. The neighborhood association board voted last January to make an ongoing year-round effort to help the Haven so we will be passing the hat for donations to the Haven during this event. If you prefer to make an online monetary donation to the Haven, please follow this link.

Music Today (Aug 9) at the Farm

The backyard concert series continues today at 4:30pm at the Farm (look for the historical marker on East Jefferson).

There will be two performances:

The Troublemakers (Owen Brennan and Claire) — country-gospel harmonies with guitars.

Patrick Keese – Multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter.

Social Distancing

The Schedule

The next performance is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 and features the Meriwether Players and the Angst City Ramblers. ACR just finished recording Let It Bleat, a concept album exploring the pastoral themes and the tonal dissonance potentiality of common barnyard animals.

If you are a musician we inadvertently overlooked and you would be willing to do a small performance for the neighborhood, please contact Sumner Brown.
