Pure distilled country music to be heard at Coffeehouse concert April 8

GEORGE — FarmStrong, a favorite group around here, will perform at the George Community Hall on Saturday, April 8, as part of he community’s George Washington Coffeehouse Concert Series.

Jim Fades, Cort Armstrong, Rick Meade and John Pyles collaborate in FarmStrong, an acoustic quartet that puts singing at the forefront of its sound.

A very simple and distinctive instrumentation accompanies the band’s smooth vocal sound and brings the songs they perform to life. Like a fine whiskey, FarmStrong’s sound is pure distilled country magic.

FarmStrong is not exactly what some would consider a country band, and definitely not a bluegrass band. FarmStrong taps deep into the roots of these musical genres, as it reaches beyond the surface to a vast array of American roots-based music, from folk and rock to Motown and blues.

The George Washington CoffeeHouse Concert Series is hosted by the George Community Hall, located at 403 W Montmorency in beautiful downtown George. Admission is $5, and there will be a hat-pass for the band ($8-$12 donation suggested).

Children ages 12 and under will be admitted free. The Georgettes will serve fresh-baked refreshments at intermission.

This will be the final show of the 2017 season.
