1/6/24—George James—You’ll enjoy George’s tenor voice on his wide repertoire of Folk, Soft Country & Celtic Folk covers. Bring your requests in, because if George doesn’t know one popular hit, he’ll probably know another by the artist.

1/13/24—Al Scortino & Greg “Squeeze Box” Thomas—Both these guys have a fantastic offering of original songs they’ve written over the years. “Slice of life” songs, environmental songs and more. You’ll be shedding a tear over Al’s award-winning folk song, Molly’s Makeup. Greg always has the perfect instrumental accompaniment with the keyboard, accordian or harmonica. These guys are a treat.

1/20/24—Melody Lowery—A talented singer/songwriter who’s quite the musician whether playing her favorite guitar or demonstrating her many years of schooling on the keyboard. She’s known around town for her original, Frogtown Girl—a Franklin, NC ballad.

1/27/24—Mike Yow—When this talented Singer/Songwriter isn’t doing Country, Rock or Gospel with his group, Arnold Hill, he performs his originals along with Appalachian, country and folk/pop of others. It’s always a treat when Mike comes to town.
