FREE SUMMER PERFORMANCE SERIES FEATURING THE EBONY HILLBILLIES - The EH are reviving a lost artform and American legacy. Consisting of fiddle, banjo, washboard and bass fiddle, they have successfully created a following that has bridged a gap in audiences in Pop, Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Jazz and beyond while maintaing their grassroots credibility. Their 19th century string dance band sound was popular in the 1920's and 1930's; and was a key element in the genesis of jazz and virtually everything after (blues, bluegrass, rockabilly, rock & roll, etc...). This is a rare event!
