Back Porch Swing Band
If you’re looking for a band with a swingin’ rhythm and an old timey fl avor, look no
further. The Back Porch Swing Band combines talents of 5 notable musicians responsible for the tapping of thousands of feet across Ohio for the last 15 years. The band specializes in Western Swing, but plays musical styles ranging from Appalachian, Blues, Old Country, and Folk to Swing music from the ‘20’s, ‘30’s, ‘40’s.
The hot fiddle playing of Adam Jackson keeps your feet moving.

Joyfully makin’ music—Bluegrass, country, Gospel... Rich blend of male and female vocal harmonies with strong acoustical instrumentation. Friday, July 20, 2012, 7 p.m.

Ann & Phil Case
Old-time Appalachian duets, old-fashioned parlor songs, and Depression-era tunes bring reverence, freshness, and vitality to some fine old songs. Strongly influenced by the Carter Family, with early country blues, ragtime, and traditional ballads.

Stockdale Family Band Concert
The Stockdale Family Band performs a combination of Bluegrass and Gospel with a touch of Appalachian music and comedy for good measure. Father, Tim, and brothers Calvin, Charles, Jacob, and James often spend kitchen and farm chore time together singing their favorite songs and honing harmonies. Their 5-piece band includes guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and bass. Their affection for people and enthusiasm for traditional music are infectious to audiences.

Civil War SesquicentennialContradance
Step back in time to the beginning years of the Civil War.
By October 1861, 150 years ago, eleven southern states had seceeded from the Union.
Newly-installed President Lincoln called for a volunteer army. War was raging across the land. Dancing was one way to forget–if only for an evening–the fi ery trial of the Civil War. Given the chance, almost everyone danced during the time period. North and South, rich and poor, young and old, urban and rural, black and white, even slaves held balls. Come, dance with us!
Saturday, October 22, 2011, 7 p.m.

The Hastily-Assembled Bluegrass Band

A perennial favorite! Hastily-Assembled plays traditional bluegrass, leaning to the blues side. They started this series in 2003 and have returned by popular demand every year!
Saturday, November 10, 2012, 7 p.m.
