SUMMARY:The Gibson Brothers
DESCRIPTION:September 4th – The Gibson Brothers are the real deal—award-winning pickers\, singers\, and songwriters who’ve earned the respect of legends like Ricky Skaggs\, Jerry Douglas\, and even Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. With a stack of bluegrass awards\, albums on premier Americana labels (Sugar Hill\, Rounder)\, and songs recorded by icons like Del McCoury\, their resume speaks for itself. \nTheir latest release\, “Darkest Hour\,” produced by the great Jerry Douglas\, is arguably their best yet—stripped down\, road-ready\, and showcasing their signature brother harmonies. From Leigh’s stunning duet with Alison Krauss on “I Feel the Same Way As You” to the handpicked acoustic gems\, this album proves the Gibson Brothers are more than deserving of household-name status. \nCatch them live and hear why everyone from Hank Williams Jr. to Dr. John shares the stage with these masters of modern country and bluegrass. \nGeneral Admission – 32.00 \nBar area opens at 7pm \nConcert Hall opens at 7:30 \nMusic opens at 8pm

SUMMARY:The Faux Paws
DESCRIPTION:September 12th – The Faux Paws \nFrom raging fiddle tunes\, to saxophone solos and unrequited love songs\, the music of The Faux Paws would be hard to pin down with standard genre descriptions. The trio’s contagious groove\, and feel-good melting pot folk music has been honed over ten years of playing together\, and is the sound of three close friends (two of which happen to be brothers)\, who feel a musical kinship that transcends any stylistic limitations. Now\, after nearly a decade of music making\, the bi-coastal trio are releasing their self-titled debut album “The Faux Paws” \nBrothers Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand grew up playing contra dance music with their musician mother in the band Great Bear. Chris Miller grew up in Florida\, and he was enamored with bluegrass\, and studied jazz before going on to play with GRAMMY nominated Cajun-country band The Revelers. Since meeting in 2012\, the trio have toured across North America several times\, sometimes under the name The Faux Paws\, sometimes as part of other larger ensembles. But due to their commitments to other bands and musical projects\, the timing was never right to focus on making The Faux Paws a priority. Instead\, they took their time learning about different styles of music from one another\, and finding where their interests and skills could create unexpected and exciting new sounds. “I love super glossy pop music\, and Chris is always pushing more of a jazz influence” says Noah.. “But we all have a strong background in dance music\, so almost everything we do has rhythm and groove\, and is based around hook and feel”. \nIt may have taken The Faux Paws ten years to make their debut album\, but those years have clearly not gone to waste. Now\, with an experimental but cohesive vision\, the trio brings together seemingly unrelated musical elements into one joyful and distinctive collection\, deeply rooted in the raw humanity of folk dance and music traditions. \nGeneral Admission: 20.00 \nBar area opens at 7pm \nConcert Hall doors open at 7:30pm \nMusic at 8pm

SUMMARY:Griffin House
DESCRIPTION:September 13th – Griffin House is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter and master storyteller whose heartfelt lyrics and engaging live performances have captivated audiences for over two decades. With more than 13 albums to his name\, House first gained national attention with his 2004 debut Lost and Found\, praised by music critic Bill Flanagan on CBS Sunday Morning as one of the best emerging talents of our time. \nAfter building a devoted fan base touring alongside icons like John Mellencamp and The Cranberries\, House stepped into the spotlight with his breakout single “The Guy That Says Goodbye to You is Out of His Mind” and a memorable performance on Late Night with Craig Ferguson in 2009. \nHis music has been featured on hit TV shows including One Tree Hill\, Rescue Me\, and Everwood\, and covered by outlets such as Rolling Stone\, No Depression\, and Paste. The 2019 Amazon Prime documentary Rising Star offers an intimate look at House’s journey as a modern troubadour\, balancing art\, family\, and sobriety. \nAmerican Songwriter says it best: “If you want to be blown away by raw talent\, look no further than Griffin House.” \nGeneral Admission : 30.00 \nBar area opens at 7pm \nConcert Hall doors open at 7:30pm \nMusic at 8pm

SUMMARY:Tim O'Brien and Jan Fabricius
DESCRIPTION:September 19th – Tim OBrien and his wife Jan Fabricius have performed together nationally and internationally since 2015. The original songs on their new release Paper Flowers offer tangible proof of a deep collaboration\, and serve as a narrative of the couples life together. \nTim OBrien might operate a bit under music business radar\, but he has been an essential part of the fabric of the folk\, bluegrass\, and Americana scenes for the past fifty years. Since his emergence as singer\, instrumentalist\, and songwriter with the iconic 1980s bluegrass group Hot Rize\, the West Virginia native has continued down a diverse and constantly evolving musical pathway. In the process he has written songs for people like Garth Brooks and the Dixie Chicks\, released rootsy classics like Red on Blonde and The Crossing\, and earned a few Grammy awards. \nA registered nurse from Kansas\, Fabricius started dating OBrien in 2011. After moving to Nashville in 2013\, she took a crash course in the music business as tour manager. OBrien describes their musical evolution\, Jan started adding harmony vocals and mandolin to shows and recordings soon after we became a couple. We would play music around the house\, and she would learn new songs as I wrote them. Then soon enough we started writing together. OBriens two most recent releases\, He Walked On and Cup of Sugar include songs cowritten with Fabricius. \nWhen Cathy Fink and Jon Weisberger approached OBrien in 2023 to contribute to what became 2024s Bluegrass Sings Paxton\, Tim and Jan wrote the song You Took Me In\, with the man himself. Encouraged by the results\, the three scheduled weekly Zoom co writing sessions and the songs kept coming. Paper Flowers includes twelve of those songs as well as three more originals. \nTim and Jan perform as duo and in a band setting with bassist Mike Bub and fiddler Shad Cobb. Both live in the studio\, they present an acoustic music roots repertoire that is at once both original and traditional. \nGeneral Admission: 40.00\nBar area opens at 7pm\nMain Concert Hall at 7:30pm\nMusic at 8pm
