The Weary Ramblers featuring Chad Elliott & Kathryn Severing Fox

FREE EVENT

Join us Thursday, January 5, 2023, at Board & Batten, LLC (1408 Walnut) 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm for some amazing live music!

How lucky are we to have Chad and Kathryn with us for the first performance of 2023. Can’t believe they were able to squeeze us into their busy schedules - what a treat!

For those who haven't yet heard Chad, he masterfully blends folk roots, swampy blues and soulful writing to deliver an original Americana sound. His live performances have been honed over a decade of being on the road performing more than 200 shows each year. He has penned more than 1,500 songs in his career while also cultivating his skills as a painter, sculptor, illustrator and author.

Kathryn also has a long list of credits to her name - including: 

• A two-year tour stint in 2017 as the sole violist in the crossover string octet, Barrage 8
• Courtesy Faculty at the Bower School of Music at Florida Gulf Coast University
• Played in Nanjing China with the Hollywood Film Music Orchestra
• Actively plays fiddle and sings with the Florida-based Western Swing group, The Suwannee Swing Saloon
• Plays and sings with her twin fiddle partner in the jazz duo, Rivers Duo
• Gigs regularly with The String Prophets (Bob Pace & Kathryn Severing Fox) and with various singer/songwriters and bands in and around Des Moines.

As always, this is a free event and a donation bar will be provided. BYO food and beverages are always welcome.

For this week, and following the amazing success of our Very English New Year celebration, we have again teamed up with Pie Mates who will be selling a limited number of their amazing Australian Meat Pies and possibly some Sausage Rolls. Can it get any better than that?

Amazing artwork, including a few pieces remaining by Chad, will be on display along with our eclectic mix of antique, gift and boutique items including many new items for the holidays.

Come and join us this Thursday, grab a pie (or 2) and support these amazing Iowa musicians.
