upcoming events

Two time Grammy nominated Laurie Lewis will be at Nancy's Farm along with, The Right Hands, playing some of the best Bluegrass and Americana music you're likely to hear anywhere. The Right Hands are Tom Rozum on Mandolin, Chad Manning on Fiddle, Andrew Conklin on double bass and Patrick Sauber on Banjo.

El Fin del Mundo, music that's out of this world ~ Greece, E. Europe, Romania, Bosnia, and original tunes and songs including the El Fin del Mundo Rag, and the El Fin del Mundo Waltz. We sing some songs and play tunes from Hank's new CD "The Pescadero Blues" and tunes from the Balkan Kafe Orchestra CD. Hank Bradley is on bouzouki, fiddle, and banjo, and vocals, Cathie Whitesides on fiddle, vocals, and baglama, and WB Reid on guitar makes us a trio steeped in many musical flavors and decades powering dancers around the floor.

Margo and John have released their CD "the Sea and the Sky" that with beautiful harmonies, surrounded by guitar and fiddle, John and Margo have put together a magical album that will make you love, laugh, cry and long for other times.

Margo Murphy and John Roberts' seamless vocal blend brings tenderness and heartache to every song. With tasteful acoustic guitar work and heartfelt harmony, they bring you vintage country, early bluegrass, and a sprinkle of pop from when pop was top!
Raised on different shores of Puget Sound, Margo and John each fostered a love for duet harmony singing. Margo, well-versed in both vintage country and jazz, has serenaded couples on Seattle dance floors and delighted audiences with her velvet voice. John, a founding member of the Nooksack Valley Boys from Bellingham, WA, has a long career of commercial fishing, which seems to have put a salty soulfulness into his voice. When their musical paths converged at a festival in the NW woods, the result was magic.

Norwegian duo Bluebird's Ghost take their inspiration from oldtime and traditional music, as well as contemporary folk and americana. Vocal harmonies and acoustic instruments such as autoharp, banjo and tenor guitar create a soundscape reminiscent of the Appalachian region. Their first EP, This Too Shall Pass was released in 2016, and Miniature Scenes of Sorrow EP is due March/April 2017.
Bluebird's Ghost is Erlend Egeberg Aasland on tenor guitar, mandolin and backing vocals, and Tale Egeberg Aasland on autoharp, banjo, lead vocals and the occasional musical saw. Both are professional musicians and work with a number of Norwegian bands, styles ranging from country to jazz and soul, but this is their pet project.

Bryan Bowers is one of the best autoharp players as well as a great story teller. , Bryan was the first living member inducted into the Autoharp Hall of Fame to stand only with Maybelle Carter, Kilby Snow, and Sara Carter. Bryan's story-telling is over the top (but not necessarily suitable for children). He is very happy to be bringing these young folks to Nancy's Farm as they represent a new generation of traditional music performers.

"The DownTown Mountain Boys, based in Seattle, Washington, is the Pacific Northwest's most exciting and accomplished bluegrass band. Veteran bluegrassers and recording artists Terry Enyeart (bass, lead and harmony vocals), Dave Keenan (banjo, fiddle, lead and harmony vocals), Don Share (guitar, lead and harmony vocals), Tom Moran (mandolin), and Paul Elliott (fiddle), seen for years in such popular Northwest bands as Ranch Romance, Rural Delivery, Rainy Pass, and Who's Driving?, have come together in a match made in musical heaven. Take three-part harmonies that send shivers up your spine, add dazzling instrumental firepower, and you have the sound of The DownTown Mountain Boys."
