Come enjoy a great evening of rockabilly, Americana, roots and blues!The Lara Hope Band’s new take on an old sound has been described as “pan-Americana.” Winners of an Ameripolitan Music Award, they were named the “Best Up-And-Coming Band” by New York’s Hudson Valley Magazine. Lara and her band have released 3 full-length studio albums and a myriad of singles, including the all-original “Here To Tell The Tale,” which has been getting rave reviews nationally and internationally. They’ve spent much of the past decade touring in both Europe and the US, opening for The Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Blasters and the Reverend Horton Heat, supporting Joan Jett, Dale Watson, Jay Leno, and America, and headlining festivals including Viva Las Vegas, Ink n Iron, The Nashville Boogie, and Bethel Woods’ 50th anniversary celebration of Woodstock. They’ve gained supportive fans and excellent press worldwide, and Hope was featured on the cover of UK Rock n’ Roll magazine and New York’s Ulster Magazine, amongst others.
Erin Harpe & Countryman Jim have been nominated for a 2026 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Blues Album of the Year by the Blues Foundation in Memphis. Their acoustic duo act has been called “today’s country blues at its very best” by Living Blues, who crowned Erin “one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land.” The duo’s sound showcases Erin’s exceptional vocals and mastery of Piedmont Blues fingerpicking – which she learned from her dad – while Jim provides the perfect counterpoint on bass and backing vocals. Their duo, as well as their award-winning electric blues band The Delta Swingers, have captivated audiences throughout the US, UK and Europe, opening for heavyweights like ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, and Honeyboy Edwards. The two have released 5 critically-acclaimed albums on the VizzTone label. Their latest, a tribute to Mississippi John Hurt, garnered 5-star reviews, worldwide radio airplay, and a cover story in Blues Matters Magazine, earning them their first BMA nomination.
