Concerts in the Garden: Hub Hollow
July 13, 2014 |
This July, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum presents the popular Summer Concerts in the Garden Series. Local band Hub Hollow returns to the Macculloch Hall garden after three tremendously popular summer performances. Drawing on bluegrass, rock, & old time music, Hub Hollow has been described as “a new kind of old-time music.” Their beautifully blended vocals and intricate melodies reflect a lifetime of creating music together. United in their desire to create hard-hitting, interesting acoustic music, the members of Hub Hollow have been playing together, in different configurations, for over 20 years. Blending rock & bluegrass, old time & blues, members have enjoyed success on both coasts at many notable venues, including both Telluride and Grey Fox music festivals. The beautiful historic gardens provide the lovely backdrop for a superb lineup of musicians and a great setting for visitors to settle on the lawn for a relaxing afternoon of music.
The Summer Concerts in the Garden series continues on July 20th with a great double bill of live music as Collin J. Rocker and Gary Reed, crowd favorites in 2013, take the stage. Musician and songwriter Collin J. Rocker will start the show with “Country Blues for the Here and Now”. Collin turns timeless themes of heartbreak, the road, and the past into songs suiting today’s common man. Singer-songwriter & guitarist Gary Reed will continue the program with “21st Century Songs with Roots in the 1960’s & 70’s”. An outstanding guitar player and performer, he is a premier fingerstyle guitar champion who writes and plays unique solo guitar arrangements ranging from Joplin to the Beatles, New Age to Yazoo, and “Finger Popping” original tunes. On July 27, Mipso will travel to Morristown to close out the series with their combination of Americana, indie and folk music. The renegade traditionalists of Mipso have become known for sly, original lyrics and a distinctive sound.
Concerts start at 4pm. Tickets for each concert go on sale from 1pm on the day of the performance. Concert tickets are $15; $10 for members, seniors, students. FREE for children under 12. A special $5 Museum admission ticket can also be purchased during the afternoon by concert ticket purchasers (Museum’s last guided tour is at 3pm, galleries remain open until 4pm).
