2026 Adirondack Americana Lineup:
September 12: Low Lily Duo w/s/g Tim & Norm
-
Low Lily Duo: With a vocal and instrumental blend dubbed “outstanding” and “meticulous,” they deliver a signature stylistic bouquet of energetic and introspective folk, bluegrass, and Americana. The duo has deep roots in the fiddle tune and singing traditions of North America and the Anglo-Celtic diaspora. Their recordings have earned two #1 songs on international folk radio, two Independent Music Award wins, and global choral recognition for their original anthem, “Hope Lingers On.”
-
Tim & Norm: A seasoned acoustic duo bringing over 60 years of combined experience. Rooted in South Glens Falls and Hadley, they deliver a rich, engaging mix of bluegrass, blues, country, and classic rock. With rich vocals and skilled instrumentation, they have become a familiar and welcome presence across the Adirondacks.
September 26: The Millstone Rounder w/s/g Carolyn Shapiro
-
The Millstone Rounders: This ensemble sings and plays a unique blend of Americana, incorporating country, gospel, blues, trans-Atlantic fiddle breakdowns, and proto rock and roll; creating a sound that is both timelessly classic and thoroughly contemporary. They perform on acoustic instruments around a single microphone, capturing a natural sound that is both sonically compelling and visually interesting.
-
Carolyn Shapiro: An old-time banjo player and songwriter whose music blends sultry flavor with deep-rooted tradition. She was named Folk Artist of the Year for the New York Capital Region in both 2022 and 2026.
October 10: Ethan Setiawan & Fine Ground w/s/g Julia Alsarraf
This final performance follows Flannel Fest, an annual fall celebration at The Hub featuring food, family activities, and the Great Brant Lake Duck Race.
-
Ethan Setiawan & Fine Ground: Led by Ethan Setiawan — a National Mandolin Champion and Rockygrass Mandolin Champion — this premier progressive bluegrass group imbues time-honored traditions with exceptional original songwriting. Fine Ground comprises some of the finest bluegrass musicians to come out of the Northeast.
-
Julia Alsarraf: A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader based in Troy, New York, whose genre-defying sound ranges from contemporary folk to indie pop and rock. Known across the Capital Region for her striking vulnerability and razor-sharp wit, Alsarraf crafts deeply personal narratives balanced by clever, often dark humor.
