Jon Edwards is a traditional blues and folks musician based out of Duluth, MN. He draws from the likes of Charlie Parr, Dave Van Ronk, Spider John Koerner and many others. He started playing shows a year ago and spent last summer on the road playing barn dances. He also just celebrated the release of his third studio album! Ross Thorn’s poignant lyricism joins good buddies Simon and Helen of Slapdash Bluegrass for a supergroup set! With a pastoral upbringing in northern Wisconsin, Ross Thorn’s music emanates as a warm and soulful hymn, waking up optimistically beside a snow-covered window. His sharply crafted and often humorous lyrics — distinctly reminiscent of great folk artists like John Prine — reveal internal struggles of empathy, questions of human character and virtue, and a search for hope, often finding solace in some unanticipated truth. His second album, Fitting In, is set to release…

In 1977, aboard the Voyager space probe, humans sent a message of hope and good will into space for whoever might find it… a golden record album containing music from across the globe. Now, in 2025, composer/arranger Russ Kaplan has taken this “global mixtape” as inspiration for a unique concert that highlights our shared humanity. With an 8-piece ensemble comprised of only the most universal instruments – voices and percussion – Kaplan and his musicians present stirring and innovative new arrangements of highlights from the Golden Record, as well as original pieces created with multicultural collaborators. From China to the Republic of the Congo, from Bach to Chuck Berry, Music From Earth is a truly optimistic and international musical experience. No Cover | All Ages | Family Friendly
