Hopeless Semantics is delighted to be returning to Black Draft Distillery! This place is amazing all year around. Join us for some awesome spirits, great food trucks, wonderful staff, and custom curated American tunes from Hopeless Semantics!
About the Venue
Black Draft is situated on 60 acre farm, the first grain-to-glass craft distillery in Martinsburg, WV since prohibition. Founded in 2014, they produce handcrafted Whiskey, Straight Bourbon, American Vodka, and Moonshine, using unique and locally-grown, all-natural ingredients.
About the musicians
Hopeless Semantics is a duo from South Central PA consisting of Mike Slusser and Linda Null. This duo focuses on harmonies and the use of 6-string guitars, combined with 12-string and mandolin, as well as keyboard, to deliver a wide variety of Americana music, from classic rock to country to bluegrass to blues. Their repertoire for requests is outstanding.
"Mandolin Mike" Slusser is a talented and gifted mandolin player and multi-instrumentalist with over three decades of experience under his belt. Mike has established himself as a virtuosic and versatile player who is equally at home playing traditional bluegrass tunes or exploring more contemporary genres, while singing lead and harmony vocals.
Linda Null is a dynamic and soulful vocalist with a loyal following in South Central PA as well as Northern VA. With a voice reminiscent of Etta James and Janis Joplin, she sings lead and plays guitar and keyboard, and also joins Mike to create exquisite vocal harmonies.
