THE NOUVEAUX HONKIES Sunday, August 30, 2009 7:00 PM, Dinner service @ 5 PM $25 advance (add $3 for door sales) Originating from a small commercial fishing town, the Honkies started playing in a tiny cafe on Saturday nights. Their combination of blues, swing and early country soon swallowed the local crowd and this quartet exploded out of the gate recording two albums and leaving a trail of old tonk-style shows from Florida to the Northwest. They have a matchless sound and perform a blistering show with fluid guitar work, reverent vocals and a haunting violin, making them the discovery of the year. |

WAILIN' JENNYS Thursday, July 10, 2008, 7:00 PM, Dinner service @ 5 PM, BYOB $25 advance/$20 members (add $3 for door sales) Moody Mountain Barn, 100 Pork Hill Road, Wolfeboro, NH With three extraordinary voices, The Wailin' Jennys have created a huge following that swoons at their intuitive harmonies, and revels in their engaging stage presence and uplifting repertoire. This Canadian trio has earned a JUNO Award (Canada's Grammy Award) for Best Album of the Year. They make a stop at Wolfeboro Folk on their way home from what has now become regular appearances on A Prairie Home Companion thanks to the continuation of a much-cherished relationship with Garrison Keillor. We featured The Jennys a few years ago when they were first starting out, and are proud to now welcome them back after they've become on of Canada's most saught-after trios. Come and see why this group caught Garrison's ear, making them one of his most featured musical acts. |

SLAID CLEAVES Friday, July 25, 2008, 7:00 PM, Dinner service @ 5 PM, BYOB $25 advance/$20 members (add $3 for door sales) Moody Mountain Barn, 100 Pork Hill Road, Wolfeboro, NH One of the finest singer-songwriters in Texas (a transplant from Maine!), Slaid Cleaves tells gorgeously compact stories in a voice packed with Texas trail dust. Orignally from small-town Maine, Slaid sure isn't running short on charm. His smooth southern drawl is somewhat affected, and while there's just enough twang to make it justifiably country, the substantial purity belongs to the traditions of folk music. His natural charisma comes more from his sensitivity to the stories he tells, his range of volume and intensity bringing the songs to life. |
