August 5 – Tom Letson & Ned Gaines
Tom Letson & Ned Gaines are an Americana duo channeling vivid storytelling, Pre-War Blues, and the spirit of the Appalachian Mountains into a near-possessed performance that leaves audiences wondering whether they’ve just witnessed a concert or some form of spiritual sermon. Don’t let the duo format fool you. Armed with a bottleneck slide, clawhammer banjo, fiddle, and harmonica, they deliver a high-energy arsenal of sound that feels far larger than two musicians.
So cool, enjoy the Grand! I passed your info along to some other musicians as well
