Its that time of year again so come out and enjoy the old time sounds of the Good Right Arm Stringband.

We started our House Concert Series with these talented folks two years ago and are thrilled to have them back in our living room on Saturday June 19th

If you have had the pleasure of seeing them perform before you know just the kinda musical journey back in time they will take you on, and if you have not been out to one of our shows we guarantee a night to be remembered. Come on over to our place and experience for yourself the powerhouse vocals of Miss Kristine Schmitt, the fiddlin' frenzy of Tony Allen and the clawhammer'n of banjo player Chris Coole, all backed up by the steady bass line of Sam Petite up close and personal.
