SUMMARY:Sunday Serenade: Savannah Clancy & Ben Larsen
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 16th\, 2026 \n$20 Advance // $25 Day Of Show11:30am Doors / 12:30pm ShowAll Ages*Limited Tickets* \nSunday Serenade is Trout Lake Hall’s new brunch music series. Each Sunday features an intimate\, two-hour live set dedicated to a single style—jazz\, Americana\, groovy indie\, country\, folk—paired with delicious\, chef-crafted brunch. With limited tickets and cozy seating\, it’s a relaxed\, up-close experience—perfect for lingering over food and gentle Sunday tunes. Come in for a real Sunday Funday! \nSAVANNAH CLANCY \nSavannah Clancy is a folk singer-songwriter who moves through the world like the seasons — always changing\, always returning. Rooted in the wild elements and the ancient rhythms of ancestry and place\, her music is an intimate conversation between the human heart and the living earth. Writing songs since the age of twelve\, Savannah has long understood songwriting as a sacred alchemy — a way of transforming the raw material of life into something that connects\, heals\, and endures. \nHer debut album Roots in the Water (March 2024) offered love songs for the earth and a prayer for the planet — music born from deep reverence for the world we inhabit. Now\, with her second album arriving June 13th\, 2026\, Savannah turns tenderly inward. These honey-sweet songs with an Americana sound are of finding home\, stepping into motherhood\, and weaving community — threaded through with longing\, nostalgia\, grief\, and the quiet wonder of love in all its forms. \na place to call home (June 2026) is produced by friend and fellow musician Ben Larsen. After the many hours of devoted time working on this project\, the two of them are excited to be playing and singing together in person. \nBEN LARSEN \nFor over a decade Larsen has been performing up and down the west coast and nationally as a solo artist. He recently returned home to the Pacific Northwest after spending a year and half in New York City\, writing and producing his third studio record Clarity\, out fall of 2024.

SUMMARY:Sean Hayes / John Courage at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 19th\, 2026 \n$25 Advanced // $30 Day of Show6pm Doors / 7p ShowAll Ages \nSEAN HAYES \nSean Hayes is a San Francisco Bay Area-based singer-songwriter known for a unique\, gritty blend of folk\, soul\, and R&B-inflected roots music. His sound has been described as dusty\, warm\, and effortless\, featuring a gravelly\, soulful voice that blends intimate storytelling with danceable rhythms.  \nHayes has collaborated and toured with artists including Aimee Mann\, Frazey Ford\, Charley Crockett\, Jolie Holland\, The Wood Brothers\, Ani DiFranco and The Cold War Kids among many more; his work has been remixed by house DJ Mark Farina and featured on NPR\, NBC and HBO. Known for his raw vocals and timeless songs\, Hayes has built a loyal following across the country\, whether stripped-down or with a full-band\, his shows are simply a night of good music. \nJOHN COURAGE \nJohn Courage has been honing his skills as a songwriter\, guitarist and producer for over 10 years in the music communities of Northern California\, with stints in the Pacific Northwest and the high desert of Santa Fe\, New Mexico. With a flair for vintage inspired rock and roll that takes cue from the Texas singer songwriter scene of the 70’s\, John Courage creates a sound that at once feels familiar yet urgent. \nNew styles blossom and are assimilated into the songbook\, and currently John Courage performs as a solo songwriter\, or a raucous\, guitar driven trio or quartet. \nWith four self produced full length albums to his credit\, and guitar credits on many other records\, along with touring work on bass and lead guitar\, John Courage now expands into the role of producer with the addition of Gremlintone Studios\, a fledgling analog based production focusing on live recording.

SUMMARY:Bart Budwig (full band) / Bryan John Appleby at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 20th\, 2026 \n$15 Advance // $20 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nBART BUDWIGBart Budwig is a son of Idaho\, a cosmic country crooner\, a rousing trumpet player\, and cryin’-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum & strum country rhythms\, jazz guitar melodies\, R&B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words into meditative mantras\, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on until his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album\, Another Burn On The AstroTurf (January 24\, 2020\, Fluff and Gravy Records) was recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ roll spirituality of king mystic Van Morrison\, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nick Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals. \nLike those psycho-spiritual song crafters\, his power comes from vocal idiosyncrasies – intonations of love\, impermanence\, hope\, humor. The album opens with Budwig originals “Time For Two”\, “First To Go”\, and “Strong Coffee”– originally presented with just solo guitar (and crackling wood stove) on the album Sabai. The songs are recorded here live\, full band\, in medley\, with hot electric guitar\, woody double bass\, and drums. The band electrifies and scourges the flesh of the songs into fully formed folk rock stunners. \nThere is what the Romans called a “divine lustre” about Bart Budwig. His blonde hair and beard wrap around his collar\,and frame his smile in a nimbus of gold. His radiance belies the loyalty he commands of an army of talent. He’d sooner tell you a joke than reveal to you he’s recorded dozens of albums and hundreds of songs in the last few years. Bart’s mastery of dramatic irony turns his work with complex emotional states of being into comforting\, uplifting\, relatable music. \nIt’s this ability to combine tragedy and comedy in his humanist hallelujahs that makes Budwig a gravitational force and industry chimera. The studio general\, the clown prince\, the sensitive songwriter with a rugged voice. The soul singer with a cosmic country band. The creator of a folk universe drawing musicians from everywhere to the middle of nowhere. It’s this juxtaposition that makes Another Burn On The AstroTurfanother success for Bart Budwig\, and a must listen for you. – Sean Jewell \nBRYAN JOHN APPLEBY \nBryan John Appleby has been writing\, recording\, and performing original music for almosttwo decades. Based in Seattle\, his folk-centric body of work incorporates breezy mid century pop\, intricate fingerpicking\, lush cinematic layers\, and lyrics that often evoke hisCentral Coast origins. \nHis latest full-length\, Underwater Easy Breathing\, exemplifies his distinct productionpalette. Oceanic and synth-laced\, the album is a natural next step in his wandering\, oftendensely layered repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow Valley (2015)\, a maximalistconcept album drenched in dreamy\, orchestral elements and experimental sounds\, andFire on the Vine (2011)\, a darker collection with more conventional folk structures andorganic instrumentation. \nWith a house show tour circuit taking him throughout the Western States\, Appleby has shared the stage with artists such as Damien Jurado\, Deep Sea Diver\, Tomo Nakayama\, YLa Bamba\, Shaina Shepherd\, Dean Johnson\, and Sera Cahoone and many others.

SUMMARY:Horse Feathers
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 27th\, 2026 \nTICKETS RELEASE FRIDAY\, JUNE 5th at 10AM! \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nHORSE FEATHERS \nIn 2026\, Horse Feathers’ debut album\, Words Are Dead\, celebrates its 20th anniversary. Kill Rock Stars is set to release a deluxe reissue that will be completely remastered and pressed on an exclusive vinyl color. It will include a replica of their original six-song demo CD in the package\, along with a deluxe foil-stamped LP jacket. \nTo support the release\, Horse Feathers’ current ensemble of Justin Ringle (guitar\, vocals\, banjo)\, Nathan Crockett (violin\, saw)\, Halli Anderson of River Whyless (violin\, vocals)\, Kati Claborn of Blind Pilot (banjo\, vocals\, clarinet)\, and Luke Ydstie also of Blind Pilot (bass\, cello\, vocals) faithfully recreate the mood of the original release with taut dynamics and sensitive arrangements. \nIn the years following Words Are Dead\, Horse Feathers quietly built a body of work defined by patience and evolution rather than reinvention. Records like House With No Home\, Thistled Spring\, and Cynic’s New Year expanded their sonic palette without abandoning the restraint that first set them apart. By the time of Appreciation\, the band had begun to open its sound outward\, introducing richer arrangements and a subtle warmth that suggested growth without rupture. Through it all\, Ringle remained a steady center\, writing songs that favored emotional precision over spectacle. \nThe reissue of Words Are Dead does not attempt to rewrite that history. Instead\, it brings the origin point back into focus\, offering a rare chance to hear where it all began while recognizing how far the project has traveled since. \nRevisiting the album now\, with two decades of distance\, reveals not just a beginning but a foundation. The same careful interplay\, the same attention to space and tone\, still anchors the band’s work today. In that sense\, the reissue feels less like a retrospective and more like a continuation. A reminder that some records do not age so much as they wait for the right moment to be heard again.

SUMMARY:Willie Watson & Erin Rae
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS RELEASE FRIDAY JUNE 26th at 10am! \nSaturday\, August 29th\, 2026 \n$30 Advance // $35 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nWILLIE WATSON \nSoon before Willie Watson turned 18\, he met God in an apple orchard. Or at the very least\, he met there a man named Ruby Love\, the older friend of a high-school buddy who had an enormous Martin guitar and a seemingly bigger understanding of the American folk songbook. Watson was existentially thirsty: A high-school dropout from upstate New York’s Finger Lakes\, he was fast on his way to his first heartbreak and in a first band that didn’t take itself seriously enough. But that night in an apple orchard that had always seemed magical\, at a graduation party for one of his bandmates and best friends\, Watson and Love sang a few of those old songs together—“Worried Man Blues” and “Tennessee Waltz.” It was the first time Watson had cried while singing\, the first time he had made the connection between making music and making sense of his life. He never saw Ruby Love again\, but within months of that foundational 1997 rendezvous\, he met the musicians with whom he’d soon start Old Crow Medicine Show. Call it revelation\, fate\, resurrection\, whatever you will; for Watson\, more than a quarter-century later\, it was a duet with the divine.  \nAs told in the talking-gospel masterpiece “Reap ’em in the Valley\,” that scene is the transfixing finale of Watson’s self-titled debut as a songwriter and as a human at last making music to make sense of his life. Yes\, Watson has released two albums since he left Old Crow Medicine Show a dozen years ago and since his long-term collaborations with David Rawlings and Gillian Welch.  \nBut those records\, both titled Folk Singer\, were sets of tunes he knew\, interpretations of the songbook he has diligently mined since even before that night in the apple orchard. At 44\, however\, he feels that Willie Watson is his first-ever true album\, having finally lived and lost and simply witnessed enough to know he has something to sing with his exquisite rural tenor. Watson has not abandoned those old songs entirely. He dazzles during a robust take on the forever-curious “Mole in the Ground” and treats “Harris and the Mare\,” the standard of tragic Canadian singer Stan Rogers\, with total tenderness. But by and large\, these are his stories of heartbreak and hurt\, backlit by the corona of hope that only growth can provide.  \nEvery memory\, Watson likes to say\, is surrounded by a shroud of sadness\, whether it’s good or bad. And there are lots of memories in a life\, all mixed: Though the band he started soon after that night with Ruby Love long gave him a purpose and career\, it conscripted him into a role as an old-fashioned folkie\, forever stuck playing a part that got tiring. Marriage and fatherhood became boons in their own time\, but they kept him bound to Los Angeles\, its sprawl and selfishness causing a country boy like Watson to lose himself again. And there was the stereotypical excess of it all\, too\, the habits of hard living nearly breaking Watson in his 30s.  \nBut after he lost those relationships\, he slowly got sober and faced himself head on\, working to be honest about the traumas of his childhood that had helped create the troubles of adulthood. Sobriety\, though\, was never enough for Watson. He wanted that shift to prompt change and growth\, to force him into situations that were beneficial because they were uncomfortable and challenging. That\, in many ways\, is the motivation of these nine songs and the only album he’s ever felt deserved to bear his name.  \nIn 2020\, Watson began convening with Morgan Nagler\, an actress and songwriter he’d met years earlier through Rawlings. They’d discuss an idea and then often sit in silence\, scratching away at it separately as Watson wriggled around on a couch\, as if wrestling with his past in the real time of the present. Sometimes playful and sometimes persecuted\, the songs that emerged looked \nbackward to move ahead\, dealing with disappointments in phrases of crisp rhyme and sly wordplay.  \nA post-pandemic solo tour had left Watson feeling drained by the idea of being some standalone entertainer\, onstage alone taming crowds who had forgotten how to listen amid extended isolation. He knew he wanted a band for these songs\, but he understood they only needed to be the framing beneath them\, supporting rather than distracting from these reckonings with self. Alongside producers Kenneth Pattengale and Gabe Witcher\, respectively of Milk Carton Kids and Punch Brothers\, Watson assembled a modest ensemble of aces who were largely new to him but would respond to the songs intuitively and without intrusion—bassist Paul Kowert\, guitarist Dylan Day\, drummer Jason Boesel\, fiddler Sami Braman. (Careful listeners may note cameos from Benmont Tench and Sebastian Steinberg\, too.) Start to finish\, these songs sound like moments of mutual discovery\, the entire group arriving together to look at Watson’s life and realize something about and for themselves.  \n“Real Love” harkens back to those days in rural New York\, with Watson opening himself to the wreckage that comes with falling for someone for the first time. He is fragile but resolute here\, pressing on in spite of vestigial pain. “Sad Song” thrums like some muted and modern Jimmie Rodgers number\, as Watson tries to play-act happiness one more time for a society that’s just wanted him to grin and sing. Echoing the rippling and beautiful despair of Gordon Lightfoot\, the gorgeous “Play It One More Time” examines the fleeting salve of music itself\, or how the help it gives us can fade when we’re not truly hearing.  \nAnd then there’s the hotrod acoustic opener\, “Slim and the Devil\,” a wits-sharp adaptation of the Sterling A. Brown poem “Slim Greer in Hell.” After being disgusted by the imagery of white nationalists taking over the streets of Charlottesville\, Watson pulled a book called “The Black Poets” off his shelf\, and the first page he opened was Brown’s poem. The story of a Faustian bargain made with St. Peter at the pearly gates in exchange for one more earthly adventure\, it’s a sly contemplation of the meaningless deals we make to endure when we all know what’s inevitable. For Willie\, the story is second to the honor aimed at the poet himself “because history has told me that all the people in his position have been robbed by white folk artists and completely cast aside.” And then there is “Already Gone\,” a devastating if elegant survey of the damage we leave behind as we make bad choices\, as we force people to leave our lives. “There’s no hearts to break here\,” Watson offers before the knockout. “They’re already gone.”  \nThese days\, Watson looks askance at his old reputation and knows other people do\, too. “‘I thought you were just some nice little singer who sang in the little fucking cowboy hat\,’” he deadpans\, characterizing the perception he knows he has in many ways courted. And he recognizes that people probably don’t think he can write his own songs of meaning and depth\, since he spent so long reworking those of others. For a long time\, he bought that\, too. But the hat is off\, as is the desire to be a mere entertainer or interpreter. The nine songs on Willie Watson find a bona fide songwriter dealing with the difficulties of his past to suggest a renewed future; what’s more\, he uses his keen and expansive understanding of an old lexicon to add his own new entries to it. As with the best folk songs\, you will recognize your own burdens here. As with the best folk singers\, you will feel compelled to sound them out\, too. Who knows\, maybe you’ll even meet God in an apple orchard. \nERIN RAE \nSince the release of her critically acclaimed 2018 debut Putting On Airs\, Erin Rae has emerged as one of Nashville’s foremost singer-songwriters. Rae’s most recent release\, 2022’s Lighten Up\, found her in a period of intense evolution. Both personally and musically\, teaming up with new collaborators like Jonathan Wilson\, Kevin Morby and Hand Habits. The resulting album\, which earned praise from Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, NPR Music and more\, took listeners on a swelling journey through psychedelia\, cosmic country and Topanga Canyon-inspired indie-folk. In 2019\, Rae was nominated for Emerging Act of The Year at the Americana Music Awards and in 2023 she earned the “Jim James Award” for most sit-ins at Newport Folk Festival\, guesting during sets from Margo Price & Friends\, Slaughter Beach Dog\, Brittany Howard\, Mavis Staples\, and more. She has also supported tours for Gregory Alan Isakov\, Ray La Montagne\, Angel Olsen\, Hiss Golden Messenger\, Jenny Lewis\, Jason Isbell\, Iron & Wine\, Lord Huron\, Julia Jacklin\, Father John Misty\, and more.
