A former member of Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes and The Hillbillies From Outer Space, Northumbrian guitarist and singer Johnny Dickinson has spanned the genres from Western Swing to heavy metal. Working solo since 2001, he now lends his exceptional picking and slide skills, aligned with seasoned, understated vocals, to a hybrid folk/blues sound that echoes the likes of Martin Simpson and Kelly Joe Phelps.

Appalachian native Malcolm Holcombe brings a wealth of hardscrabble experience to his rustic, rugged folk/blues sound, tempered by grittily soulful lyricism. “Malcolm Holcombe’s music is essential and timeless and it makes the world a better place.” (Tim O’Brien)

Please note that all patrons must be over the age of 14 and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
