Kings County Opry

The evening starts at 8:30 pm with a song circle featuring all the night's acts as they jam and croon away on whatever songs strike their fancy. Following the circle three bands play an hour set. Sir His Highness El Presidente Doc Oscar books amazing bands every month and you can be assured an evening steeped deep in the hills of traditional American song.

The Lineup is:

8:30pm - Song Circle
Julie Zee and Dave Mignani (guitar and singing)
Alan Friend and Julianne Carney (guitar, banjo, fiddle singing)
Katherine Etzel and Dock Oscar (guitar and singing)

9:30pm - Homegrown String Band
The Homegrown String Band, a twenty-first century incarnation of the traditional family band which was literally homegrown, consists of Georgianne and Rick Jackofsky and their two daughters Erica and Annalee. This family that plays together has been performing at coffeehouses and bluegrass, blues, and folk festivals, from Maine to Missouri since 1997. Working without a plan or adult supervision, and with unique instrumentation (guitar, fiddle, banjo uke, jawharp, mandolin, harmonica, and dulcimer), the band has taken to coloring outside the lines, using blue crayons for
the sun, purple for the grass, and developing their own continually evolving, revolving, and sometimes dissolving musical style which has been called "hard to describe" among other things. A Homegrown String Band show is a rollicking ride through the sounds of American music, from the driving rhythms of old time dance tunes to the mournful sounds of old mountain ballads and blues.
