Fairview Parks Department is happy to announce that The Howlin’ Brothers will be headlining the Starlight Jam on July 24th. The Howlin’ Brothers are a Nashville based string band composed of Ian Craft, Jared Green, and JT Huskey. Anchored in a bed of old-time blues and bluegrass, their upbeat shows are heavy with original and traditional music, featuring the sounds of slide banjo, harmonica and old-time fiddle. Sounding like what would happen if a bunch of Appalachian punk rockers formed a jug-band, The Howlin’ Brothers play with a ferocious energy that drags you in and finds you boogieing along in spite of yourself. Rolling Stone – included The Howlin’ Brothers album TROUBLE in “The 26 Albums of 2014 You Probably Didn’t But Really Should Hear”.
The Starlight Jam is a concert series at Bowie Park that include picking parties that started in April and will run through October. Each month will include live Americana music on the main stage. Pickers are encouraged to bring their instruments and find a spot under the trees to jam. The goal is to provide a place for musicians to get together and play and for music lovers to have a place to go and enjoy great music in a laid back, family friendly environment under the stars.
Starlight Jam is located outside under the stars in Bowie Nature Park from 7-10PM, with gates opening up at 6:30PM. Opening for The Howlin’ Brothers at 7pm will be a very talented student from Fairview Guitar and Repair: Julia Evaskis.
