The Mountain Home Summer Concert Series continues on July 23 with “Junkerdash”—folk/bluegrass/string-band blues/punk—trio Hillfolk Noir at Carl Miller Park. Fronted by multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, Travis Ward, this trio of neo-traditionalists includes Alison Ward on musical saw, washboard, banjo, and purely gorgeous vocals, as well as Mike Waite keeping the heartbeat, rhythm and flow alive on double bass.
“Grab a drink, sit down, take a breath, have a listen for a moment, an hour, a night,” notes the band’s website HillfolkNoir.com, “because here they come with their earnest musical narratives of the back alleys, the open range, the hollow, the front porch, the lives behind the love, want, fear and fracture of a world that despite all adversity remains, within their songs, hopeful, thoughtful, jubilant. Recommended pairings: Drinking and dancing.”
So, bring your lawn chairs and blankets and enjoy an evening of live music for all ages and food & beverage from Main Street Tacos, Rodeo Night Club, F.U.B.A.R. Drinks, and B’s Cookies. The concerts, offered free to the public, will be from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Vendors will open at 6 pm.
