7:00 - Midnight Choir
Midnight Choir
Bluegrass endures because of bands like midnight choir that see limitless possibilities in the blending of mandolin, guitar, bass and voice. Introducing melodic and playing techniques drawn from jazz, classical and global traditions, this is brilliantly arranged stringband music that stands out like a cool island in a sea of bluegrass that sometimes gets overheated. This engaging trio delivers original music featuring Jacob Ali on mandolin, Jeff Wasbes on guitar, and Jon Doll on bass.
Josh Clevenstine
Truck-driving Adirondack folk musician, Josh Clevenstine, follows in the footsteps of his musical mentors, Chris Shaw and Dan Berggren. A proud “tradition-bearer,” Josh is passionate about applying his own style to old songs and traditions and passing them along to the next generation. His music—propelled by crosspicking guitar reminiscent of the great Johnny Cash—is marked by honest lyrics drawn from his own experiences. Harlan Howard famously described country music as “3 chords and the truth,” and Josh’s powerful songs are a testament to the magic inherent in that particular formula.
