Barncat Country Band: Guitarist Jamie Drysdale and mandolinist David McMeekin have been belting out harmonies together since they were kids. After years of playing bluegrass bands, they decided it was time to go honky-tonk. In 2021 they hooked up with high-energy fiddler, Peter Gurche and piano wizard Adin Kloetzel and Barncat was born. Expect rolicking night filled with a rowdy mix of country, western swing, and bluegrass.

The Recession Special are a band of buskers, carnival barkers, and workhouse escapees. With a unique blend of old tyme music, folk punk, and swing, the group seeks to bring the spirit of resistance and resilience back to folk music, and to remind listeners that no matter how hard times get, there's always a place for dancing in the revolution.

Plenty of inside and outside dance and social space.

$10
