Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to hear these talented artists!
Tom Paxton, nominated for several Grammys and considered a “voice of his generation,” has been spreading messages of peace and humanity through music for 40 years. His songs, which have come to represent folkmusic, explore issues of injustice, war, and inhumanity, but also friendship and family in a celebration of cultural diversity. From the beginning of his success in New York City’s Greenwich Village to now, Paxton’s messages have reached adoring audiences in countries all over the world.
Kimya Dawson is a Grammy winning, platinum selling singer songwriter most widely known for her work on the JUNO soundtrack and her former band, The Moldy Peaches. She has released 6 solo albums, including a children’s album “Alphabutt”. According to the Rolling Stone, “Kimya Dawson straddles the line between precious and profound.” The New York Times considers her “a veteran of the scrappy anti-folk circuit, with stream of consciousness songs that balance the caustic and the childlike.”
Led by the award-winning fiddler who gives his name to the band, Jeremy Kittel Band delivers an upbeat sound drawing from roots in Bluegrass, Jazz, Blues, and Chamber Music. Kittel is joined by the eclectic talents of esteemed cellist Nathaniel Smith, hammer dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman and mandolin phenomenon Joshua Pinkham.
Front Country has pushed the boundaries of Americana music since its inception. Formed in 2011 by Adam Roszkiewicz, Jacob Groopman (Oberlin ‘04), Jordan Klein, Leif Karlstrom, Melody Walker and Zach Sharpe, the bluegrass band has created a sophisticated repertoire of traditional covers and original songwriting. After receiving the Rockygrass band competition in Colorado and at Telluride, Front Country’s West Coast roots have begun to branch out into the national bluegrass scene.
Rushad Eggelston is an improvisational cellist and singer who has performed both as a solo artist and with several acts including Tornado Rider and Crooked Still. He is known for his colorful outfits and innovative performance style, which, combined with his unworldly musical abilities, have etched out an unforgettable place for Eggleston in the canon of modern Americana.
Formed in Nashville, Tennessee, 10 String Symphony is an experimental old-time and Celtic five-string fiddle duo. Accompanied by their acoustic instrumentation, members Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmeyer interweave bright vocal harmonies to produce a unique sound.
Folkfest Update!
Due to inclement weather, we have relocated to the Cat in the Cream Coffeehouse (180 West Lorain Street). The folk shall continue until 6pm!
Just to clarify, the phil ochs documentary is tonight, may 1, 1014. Blind boy Paxton listing was for last years event and will not be here this year. Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct. The documentary tonight starts at 8pm in Wilder 101. And Blind Boy Paxton was at last year's fest. Sorry for the confusion. Hope you can make it!

Conflict on the schedule below. Says Leo Kotke at Finney on Sat. May 3 from 8-9:30, then farther down a different schedule (Toshi Reagon, 23 String Band) for the same night. Also, that schedule says "Friday, May 3 and Sat. May 4" which aren't correct dates. What's right?
Toshi Reagon was at last year's fest (which was on May 3-4 2013). This year's fest is on May 2-3 and Leo Kottke is one of our headliners. Sorry for the confusion.
is leo kottke performance free? are tickets required?
Yes it is a free and unticketed event!

Check Out Our 2013 Headliners: Lake Street Dive
"How is it that something so unlikely can also be so infectious, so naturally exhilarating? Pulling in familiar elements and irreverently scrambling and recombining them, Lake Street Dive are at once jazz-schooled, DIY-motivated, and classically pop obsessed. Beginning with catchy songs that are by turns openhearted and wryly inquisitive, this northeastern quartet proceeds to inject them with an irresistible blend of abandon and precision."

Check Out Our 2013 Headliner: Jerron "Blind Boy" Paxton:
"At first glance he looks like he’s playing the part of a bluesman in a Hollywood movie, dressed with theatrical retro-schtick, with a Derby hat and overalls. The tall, corpulent young man almost looks like a young Willie Dixon, and he is smart to make hay when the grass is high, marketing himself directly to the segment of the blues community with a great nostalgic hunger for authentic musicians that accurately portray the image of the romanticized 1930s rural minstrel. Amazingly, he’s not just the real deal, he may be the most sensational newcomer in the blues in many years. In a good decade maybe a rare brilliant voice will emerge to ignite the acoustic blues world, a massive new talent to take helm the future of the traditional blues. John Hammond Jr.,Taj Mahal, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Corey Harris and Keb’ Mo’ come to mind as milestone movers and shakers in their respective decades. A fabulous new country blues talent as impressive as Jerron Paxton is not just rare, his extraordinary talent is almost surreal."
