FREE SHOW IN THE BIERGARTEN // FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED SEATING // NO TICKETS, RESERVATIONS OR RSVP NEEDED Old Bob was formed in 2015 when Brian Anderson, Chris Cavaliere, and Kenny Owens celebrated Bob Dylan's 75th birthday by playing 75 of his songs in chronological order. As much as we enjoy playing all of Dylan's music, what we really love is his recent stuff—the "Old Bob" stuff; everything from Time Out Of Mind through Rough & Rowdy Ways. We also throw in some classics along with songs from other artists that sound like Old Bob. Old Bob is often joined by friend & keyboardist extraordinaire Chris Strange.

TICKETED PERFORMANCE // LIVE IN THE BACKSPACE 7:00PM OPENING ACT: Nathaniel Hintz A little bit of time has passed between when Jon Pousette-Dart as a teenager started forging a path in the musical landscape that started in the 60’s and laid a foundation with the original Pousette-Dart Band. Throughout the 70’s and into the 80’s the band earned a loyal national following and produced 5 releases for Capitol that made a deep imprint in the world of album radio, when we all used to only listen to vinyl. When the band parted ways, Jon continued working and slowly began navigating back to where he started writing and recording in earnest with many of Nashville’s finest, and some twenty odd years ago Jon crossed paths with Jim Chapdelaine one of the more formidable musicians he crossed paths with. Jon continued touring as their musical collaboration continued to brew into a satisfying vital musical landscape of it’s own. Turn the clock ahead some years and a few questions might be asked. What do two left handed guitar players and the combined experience of rummaging around the music business since the early 1970’s equal? It could equal a squalid path of broken dreams, less than half paid mortgages, multiple marriages, many junked cars, and closets full of suitcases of clothes with the indelible after scent of Marlboro’s and Budweiser’s ground into the sinews of years in dark dressing rooms contained in gin joints where the holy grail and graduation degree was 5 sets a night till closing time. The scattered joy in producing moments of pure musical ecstasy, intermingled with financial panic and steady diet of sleepless nights in Holiday Inn’s crisscrossing America’s heartland. Or in this case, leading to two kindred souls who by fate and good fortune discovered they could weave musical tapestry that spoke to all those that heard without a word being said between them. And so it came to be. Monsignor Pousette-Dart and Senor Chapdelaine discovered they shared a gift both in the studio and on the stage that rose above the hum drum drudgery of day to day existence, and were able to reach into people’s souls and pull out pieces of magic that created joy and fresh air, no matter which roads or towns their journeys took them. And now as fate would have it, they have a renewed passion and vigor to explore the world of flats, sharps, repeats, words and crescendos to make small babies smile and precious mothers relax into their easy chairs and remember all the good that the world holds. Men too. So, no matter your predilections, or worries or concerns in your everyday life, consider taking a moment to breath, and buy a ticket when they come to your town. It’s something to seriously consider to see and hear where little pieces of joy come to life.

TICKETED SHOW - LIVE IN THE BACKSPACE // DOORS 6:30pm - MUSIC 7pm Born in a small country town in New England and raised in a musical family, GRAMMY-nominated songwriter Reed Foehl crafts stories of the human condition with poignant lyrics and a voice that both pushes boundaries and honors tradition. His music, a blend of genuine Folk and Americana, is marked by a dusty, patient quality that resonates deeply. In May 2022, Foehl released his sixth studio album, "Wild Wild Love," recorded with The Band of Heathens in Austin, TX. The Boston Globe praised his work, stating, “He sings like he feels every note, each song tells a story… of which he relates astonishingly well.” Foehl received a GRAMMY nomination for his song “Fly,” co-written with Brent Cobb and covered by country legend Lee Ann Womack. Now residing in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Foehl continues to tour globally, sharing his music with audiences around the world. “From traditional folk ballads to barroom sing-alongs, this tunesmith’s emotional, deeply personal lyrics and indelibly infectious choruses… leave the listener with an overriding sense of optimism.” – Glide Magazine “Reed has the ability to transport the soul, a true master. One of the great songwriters of our time." –Gregory Alan Isakov "Reed Foehl is like a brother to me, we've traveled a lot of miles on the road together, and I don't think they make better singer-songwriters than him." –Todd Snider “Reed's songs hit you in the heart, and everything else falls away." –Anais Mitchell
