SUMMER WEDNESDAYS: Folk Garden Groove

July 10: Folk Garden Groove

Experience the charm of folk melodies intertwining with the rhythmic cadence of nature.

Folk musicians Paul Kovac’s Big ‘Grass Band: At a point in time, Bluegrass music was one band’s way (Bill Monroe & his Bluegrass Boys) of trying to make a living, and since it’s inception, nearly 70 years ago, Bluegrass has become an accepted form of uniquely American music, a style quickly identified by the sound of it’s instrumentation, singing & songwriting, has stood the test of time, and is now considered a traditional music form.

About the Band Paul Kovac caught the Bluegrass bug while in his teens, learning to play banjo, guitar & mandolin, and quickly joined bands in an effort to ‘earn-while-you-learn’. Realizing that the older, first-generation musicians held the keys to the kingdom, he set out to see, meet and play with as many as he could. Over the year’s, Paul’s performed with Bill Monroe, Chubby Wise, Mac Wiseman, Vassar Clements, and countless others. These experiences have been the bedrock of his Bluegrass foundation. Paul Kovac – banjo, vocal, David Mayfield – mandolin, vocal, Ron Bonkowski – guitar, vocal, Alex Greathouse, bass
