Black Hawk Folk Society proudly announces its winter-into-spring Second

Saturday concert schedule. The series will kick-off with L.J. Booth & Chris

Kokesh on Saturday, January 11. This singer-songwriter duo is known and

loved for beautiful harmonies. Expect music and a vibe that will warm the

winter night.

Dangerous Folk, a Milwaukee trio will take the stage Saturday, February 8.

Doug Esty, Julie Thompson, and David HB Drake combine forces to

reinvigorate the classic folk tunes of the 1960’s and 70’s. The answer’s

blowin’ in the wind, indeed!

And blowing in just in time for the Ides of March: Triflemore, on Saturday,

March 14. A transatlantic folk duo—one from the remote isles of Scotland

and the other from small-town America—these musicians bridge the

distance with their own delicious blend of progressive, Celtic, and British

Isles folk.

K.G. & the Ranger will be the night’s entertainment on Saturday, April 11.

Hailing from Madison, WI, they have performed throughout the United

States and are loved for their ability to bring cowboy heroes and the Old

West back to life with their music!

Mean Mary returns to Black Hawk’s roster on Saturday, May 9. Wikipedia

sums her up as “an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist,

novelist, producer, and YouTube personality.” You’re invited to come see

and hear for yourself!

These five Second Saturday concerts will be held at Mountain View

Community Center, at N3137 21st Lane, near the intersection of 21 st Lane

and Highway 152, near Mt. Morris and Wautoma. General admission

tickets will be sold at the door from 6:30 on, with the concert beginning at

7:00. (Adults: $10; 12 and under: free). Concert-goers are invited to begin

the evening by joining the performer and other music lovers at a potluck

supper at 6. Mountain View is handicap friendly and offers plenty of free,

on-site parking. Black Hawk Folk Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and is completely volunteer-driven. The organization’s mission is to bring quality live folk music to central
