"They play
their wooden instruments like they’re trying to set ‘em on fire. They’ve
always emphasized rampaging rhythms and a hellbent attitude..."
Nashville Scene
The Wilders
are an internationally touring string band from Kansas City, Missouri.
Ike Sheldon (lead vocals, guitar), Betse Ellis (fiddle, vocals), Phil
Wade (dobro, mandolin, banjo, vocals), and Nate Gawron (string bass,
vocals) write and perform original songs, classic honky tonk, old time
country, and fiddle tunes with engaging energy and spirit. The Wilders
have gained critical acclaim and radio airplay throughout the United
States and beyond. Since 1996, they have performed at festivals and
concerts, on radio, television, and independent film soundtracks. In
June 2002 The Wilders appeared on Minnesota Public Radio's "Prairie Home
Companion" with Iris DeMent; they performed at the Kennedy Center in
2004, and on "Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour" in 2005. In 2006, The
Wilders were selected to perform at the Famous Spiegeltent at Edinburgh
Festival Fringe; their show sold out and they were honored for their
performance with a coveted Herald Angel Award.
The Oaksong Masters in
Music Concert Series
is a new series of occasional
concerts designed to present those artists that we believe have
profoundly influenced their genre of musical arts. Whether
virtuoso instrument playing, vocals, songwriting, song interpretation or
all of the above, the artists presented in this series exemplifies
mastery of their craft. The concerts are usually about 90 minutes
divided into two 45 minute sets with a 15 to 20 minute break between
sets. They are designed to be a relaxed warm gathering for attendees and
artists alike and feature a question-answer period usually just after
the first break and before the beginning of the second set of music.
Saturday,
August 2
It's a rock & roll,
rock-a-billy evening of fun and dancing with...
Big Sandy & His
Fly-Rite Boys
Since forming in 1988, Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys have emerged as one
of the world's most respected practitioners of American roots music,
western swing, rockabilly, and traditional country playing it like they
invented it. "I think of us as just a rock and roll band. A rock and
roll band that's letting the roots show," says bandleader Big Sandy.
Whether they're playing the Grand Ole Opry, Late Night With Conan
O'Brien, or simply climbing out of a bus after rolling into your town,
these guys are bringing us some great old-time rock and roll. |

The
Minstrel of The Range
Don Edwards
Grammy nominated
singer-guitarist Don Edwards continues to build a legacy that
enriches our vision of the American West. In tales of the day-to-day
lives and emotions of those who have lived it, his ballads paint a
sweeping landscape of both mind and heart, keeping alive the sights,
sounds and feelings of this most American contribution to culture and
art. The quality of this cowboy balladeer’s music stems from the fact
that he is so much more than a singer. Bobby Weaver of the National
Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, summed up Edwards’ importance as
“... the best purveyor of cowboy music in America today.”
July 5th
Peter Rowan
& His Bluegrass Band
A Grammy-award winning
musician, Peter Rowan's career has spanned from Sea Train to Old & In
the Way to numerous solo and ensemble projects with Don Edwards, David
Grisman, Richard Greene and others. He is a soulful singer and a
poignant songwriter. He began his professional career playing guitar,
singing lead vocals and co-writing as a member of the Bluegrass Boys,
led by the founding father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. He embarked on a
well-received solo career in the late '70s, releasing such diverse and
critically acclaimed albums as Dustbowl Children and Bluegrass Boy, as
well as much-admired collaborations with ace Dobro player Jerry Douglas,
Flaco Jimenez, and his brothers Christopher and Lorin Rowan.
Iconoclastic and innovative, Rowan has a long history of expanding the
musical boundaries of his loyal fans. He is also a notable influence on
the careers of other musicians via collaborations with new acts on the
rise, as well as by presenting talented up-and-coming players in his
road bands.
