Black Hawk Folk Society proudly announces its winter-into-spring Second
Saturday concert schedule.
FEBRUARY…..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!
MARCH……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.
APRIL……..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!
MAY…….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
