Fall 2024 Lineup:
October 6 : Songwriters Charles Absher, John Cable & George Eckard
Charles Absher has been playing music since high school (yes, over 50 years ago). There was a 10-year period when he put down the guitar to earn a civil engineering degree, but it soon became his stress reliever as he advanced in his career. He’s played in Bluegrass, Folk/Rock and Americana bands both before and after the college degree. Now retired, he continues to compose and perform his own songs.
John Cable began his career in the late 60s. After serving as lead guitarist and vocalist for the Texas country rock pioneers, Colours, he became a member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He has performed on The Tonight Show, Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, The Midnight Special, Austin City Limits and the Grand Ole Opry and some great concert venues, including Wolftrap, Carnegie Hall, and Red Rocks.
George Eckard has lived in the Atlanta area for more than 50 years and has been playing various instruments for longer than that. He has played at local venues solo, with the Unusual Suspects and with the 4 Man String Band. His second recorded collection of original songs, Love the Land, was completed recently. He leads the Songwriting Lab at the Frank Hamilton School.
October 13 : The Nearly Normal String Band with The duo of David Gibson and Libby Eason
The Nearly Normal String Band consists of husband-and-wife team Viva and Neil Araki. They play multiple acoustic instruments in several styles, including blues, bluegrass, Celtic, 60s folk, and old time Appalachian. The Band plays at state parks, farmers markets, coffee houses, private parties, weddings, and music festivals. They are also annual performers at the Friday night concert series at the historic Union County courthouse.
Libby Eason and David Gibson Have performed in the Atlanta area for many years. They have performed as a duo for over a decade and both solo as well as with various groups including The Unusual Suspects. They are both songwriters and talented musicians.
October 20 : Black foot Daisy
The Black foot Daisy includes Don Sechelski on vocals, guitar and bass, Wendy DuMond on vocals, percussion, ukelele and guitar and Eric Toomsen on fiddle. They will perform a set of original songs along with some old favorites.
October 27 : Red Wine Jam with Voices for Now
Red Wine Jam is a trio with Chris and Carol Moser and their friend David Leinweber. They will be doing a tribute to the famous Canadian Singer/songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot.
Voices for Now is a friendly group of choral singers who believe that music has the power to help us feel, heal, and connect. We formed our own a cappella choir in 2022 and enjoy singing at community events and senior centers. Raising awareness about good causes is forefront in our minds when seeking out new venues for performances.
November 3 : Mocking Bird’s Wing
Mockingbird’s Wing is an acoustic band made up of four diverse musicians: Barbara Hotz, a singer/songwriter with deep roots in Mexico and a love of the old standards; Jonathan McBee, a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter out of Chicago; Paul Pendery, a Montana/Alaska/Texas singer/songwriter whose songs evoke soulful stirrings and happy feet; and Suzy Schultz, whose day job is full-time artist, adds vocals/flute/cello to the Mockingbird’s Wing sound. Like the mockingbird’s song, the different voices and styles come together to make a unique sound.
