The Barr Brothers with Kishi BashiPresented by Mauch Chunk Opera House at Mauch Chunk Opera House May 18, 2012 This is one of those groups – you’ll never forget where you saw them first.
Brad and Andrew Barr first played as The Slip until one night in 2004 the room they were performing in burned down. Perhaps that’s why, despite their remarkable talent, they don’t have a problem taking themselves too seriously. One year later, they were in Montreal. In his first apartment there, Brad Barr shared an adjoining wall with Sarah Page, a classically-trained harpist whose... | Mauch Chunk Opera House | 05/18/12 | Jim Thorpe |

After 1978's Champagne Charlie, Redbone began recording only sporadically; following 1981's Branch to Branch, he waited... | JTAMS Productions | 06/22/12 | Jim Thorpe |
Sierra Hull and Highway 111Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House July 7, 2012 Never mind that Boston’s renowned Berklee School of Music bestowed on Sierra Hull the school’s Presidential Award and its first-ever to a bluegrass musician.

Ryan Montbleau BandPresented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House August 25, 2012 They make catchy folk-pop with lyrics made for singing along. But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to their sound.
With Ryan’s finger-picking style that has been compared to Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco, soul-folk songwriting skills in the tradition of Martin Sexton, and a singing voice constantly compared to Stevie Wonder, there is clearly an abundance of talent here.
And this may be a Northeastern... | JTAMS Productions | 08/25/12 | Jim Thorpe |
