ABOUT SISTER SPARROW AND THE DIRTY BIRDS

418456463808-500The Catskill Mountains hid rock ‘n’ roll’s best kept secret for almost 18 years. Then in 2008, singer and songwriter Arleigh Kincheloe said goodbye to her hometown hideaway and moved to New York City to start Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds. In the years since, the group has performed more than 600 shows, released two full-length albums and an EP and enchanted tastemakers ranging from the Wall Street Journal and LA Times to Glamour, USA Today,and the New Yorker. They have shared the stage with such heavyweights as Gov’t Mule, Dr. John, Trombone Shorty, The Avett Brothers, Counting Crows and Galactic, and have turned audiences into believers through appearances on the festival circuit at Bonnaroo, Firefly, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Voodoo Music Experience and many more. In May, the band unleashed 10 irresistible anthems that comprise The Weather Below, their most rambunctious, raucous and righteous recording to date. The album was produced by Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy) and was released by Nashville-based Thirty Tigers.

A Labor Day weekend experience to enjoy with the whole family in a beautiful setting, the Hermit Music Festival features three days of national, regional and local live musical acts. The festival also showcases local performance and music organizations, food trucks and wine and beer vendors.

ABOUT IDYLTIME

Idyltime, a band originally playing bluegrass out of southern Oregon, reformed in 2011 when Beth and Tate Mason moved to Boise, Idaho. There they joined up with Dave Daley and Ava Honey, who were hosting the weekly old-time jam at Pengilly’s. Dave and Ava continue to be extremely active in developing the acoustic roots music and square dance scene in Boise. With over 40 years of fiddling, Dave brings a lifetime of musical experience to the original songwriting of Idyltime. Most people can hear a certain song and it will take them back to a prior experience, maybe to a feeling had and relived through a melody. Idyltime is comprised of four souls eternally searching for the source of this nostalgia. People often tell us that our music takes them back to a memory, and it reminds them of the good in the world.
