June 7 - Dirty River Boys - Once known as a hard-scrabble group of outsiders from El Paso, The Dirty River Boys have solidified their place as one of Texas' most exciting new Americana acts with the recent release of their debut LP "Science of Flight," selling out major venues across their home state and beyond. Performing live as a duo consisting of frontmen
Marco Gutierrez and Nino Cooper, the band is known for an all-acoustic, yet infamously rowdy live show, a raucous mix of country, folk and Americana music with a scrappy punk-rock spirit that's been dubbed "outlaw folk."

June 12 - Tommy Womack - Formerly of Government Cheese and the John Prine-championed Bis-Quits, Tommy Womack has found a second life on new album 'Now What,' which American Songwriter called "rock 'n' roll, or Americana, or whatever you want to call it, that's as pure and honest as it gets. Womack sings about alcohol, sex, cigarettes and Jesus, unafraid to say whatever he wants, having weathered both the worst and best of times."

June 13 - Suzanna Choffel - Working with
Blake Shelton as a contestant on 'The Voice,' Suzanna Choffel has taken her poetic lyrics and sweet smoky voice from small clubs to national TV fame (her version of Fleetwood Mac's "
Landslide" earned a standing ovation on the show). Her music has been described as "indie pop with urban beats", and "jazz-infused soul pop" - Jim DeRogatis called her "Feist meets Erykah Badu."

June 27 - The Claire Lynch Band - Grammy nominee and IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Claire Lynch has long been at the forefront of women pushing bluegrass boundaries. Her soulful songs have been recorded by
Patty Loveless and Kathy Mattea and others. This stellar ensemble delivers a personable, high energy performance including tender country ballads, hard driving bluegrass, swing, and even some Southern Appalachian clog dancing. https://music.hillcountryny.com/event/265877-claire-lynch-band-new-york/
June 29 - 10th Annual
Aaron Robert
Wilkinson Memorial Concert ft. Graham Wilkinson,
Paleface - His brother's influence is easily identified in many of Graham Wilkinson's songs. From ska to folk, honky-tonk to rock, his lyrics tackle such lofty and often neglected topics as social responsibility and justice, political corruption and greed while consoling the audience with pithy love songs and pure 'feel good' rhythms and melodies.
High-energy indie-folk
Paleface celebrated the release of new album 'One Big Party' with a special guest-performance alongside The
Avett Brothers at NYC's
Radio City
Music Hall, followed by US and
Europe tours.
