The music she calls JACOUSTiC is her own unique and refreshing take on the acoustic/singer songwriter sound with a raw, alternative flair. The EP “Jacoustic,” which features 13 all acoustic, idiosynractic songs will be released at the end of June of this year, just in time to celebrate her 20th birthday.

OVFAM venders are locals who need the support of locals. The success of the market depends on the community—the village raising it together, making it a success. Linda Knudtson, founder of OVFAM, states, “It is my goal that the locals will attend the activities that are being offered right here in Ogden Valley—in our back yard. The Farmers market has been here, alive and well, for the past five years. Please support your Valley by attending, visiting, and purchasing local produce, art, baked goods, and other items. Don’t pass us by on your way to the one in Ogden. We encourage you to take some time out of your Saturday-morning routine and make us a part of your day, as there are many marketers trading their free items on Saturdays, five months out of the year.” The Ogden Valley Farmers and Artists Market is located at 2405 N. Highway 158 in Eden.

R.I., Brown Bird is a two person acoustic band that plays original, traditional American music in the best sense possible. Their most recent album was recorded live to tape in Pawtucket, RI. “Salt For Salt” is the first album by Brown Bird to capture the intense energy of the duo’s live shows, surging in waves that often swell into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness. David Lamb and Morgan Eve Swain write simply. A tambourine, a bass drum and the cello often the sole accompaniment to Lamb’s cracked, wood-smoke voice. Lamb and Swain work beautifully together, with his banjo providing a backbone to a fiddle break, and her harmonies an echo of the melody. Horse Feathers: Thursday, August 9 (Listen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_ LMMQqBwjk) Horse Feathers’ first album, “Words Are Dead,” received a Plug Awards nomination for Americana Album of the Year in 2007, and their second, “House With No Home,” sold over 12,000 copies, making it one of Kill Rock Stars’ best-selling debut records ever. The band has spent the last few years touring, and their live shows are characterized by packed houses of silent, attentive crowds listening intently to every note and every empty space. Their recent collaboration with members of the Oregon Ballet Theatre met with great critical acclaim, and 2012 will bring further touring and multiple summer festivals. Tickets for the show are $20 for adults and $12 for children (12 and under). Tickets may be purchased online at www.ogdennaturecenter.org by phone at 801-621-7595, or in person at the Ogden Nature Center, 966 W. 12th Street, Ogden. Seating is general admission on the lawn. Low-rise chairs, picnics, beverages and blankets are all welcome. The concert will be held rain or shine, and tickets are nonrefundable. The Ogden Nature Center is located at 966 W. 12th St., Ogden, Utah. |
