Dark Hollow Band

with special guest Malcomb Holcombe

Saturday, June 5, 8 p.m.

One day in September, 1999, on the front porch of a house on Dark Hollow Road in East Tennessee, with a bucket and two sticks from the front yard, Gene Beffre sat down and banged out a beat as Randall Kent Wilkerson played and sang his songs. Dark Hollow Band evolved from that simple moment. In 2000, John Gillespie came along and sweetened the sound with his flute and squeezebox. Later that same year the inimitable Rod Erwin brought his ingeniously subtle, yet powerful bass into the mix. Next came Dave Patterson who would expand and warp the sound with his screaming electric guitar. One by one, as if by design, each member would appear and bring their own unique fingerprint to the mix. At one point they had up to eleven band members! The end result would be an eclectic mix of everything from gospel to folk to blues to country to screamin' rock n' roll.

Admission: $12.00 advance, $15.00 at the door - plus applicable service fees

Mason Jennings

Friday, June 18, 8 p.m.

Before anything else, Mason Jennings considers himself a "music listener." His latest record, Blood of Man, contains songs about death, life, pain and addiction, being a parent, being sane and married and true and positive, being human and in love. According to Jennings, "...I let it flow and left it raw. I worked fast and I let my heart lead." All of which is very good news to fans of this remarkable singer-songwriter. Mason Jennings is one of those artists whose work feels immediately familiar when you hear it. He does an excellent job of encapsulating the human connections and sending them forth in song.

Admission: $19.50 - plus applicable service fees
