Entertainment : Farmers Mercantile concert: Jes Raymond and the Blackberry Bushes, Oct. 15

Jes Raymond and the Blackberry Bushes will perform at Farmers Mercantile Hall in Garrison, IA Saturday, October 15th from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Jes Raymond writes and sings songs that connect the day to day with the muses of wonder and myth. The Blackberry Bushes is the collective centered around those songs and her long time collaboration with virtuoso fiddler Jakob Breitbach. Jes and the Bushes draw from the deep well of American Roots music for a modern sound that has a light-hearted rusticity, elegance, and soul. They are emerging as artists with an obvious love of performing, spot on chemistry, and a live show that truly aims to stir the spirit. Backed by a rotating cast of talented believers, they simultaneously honor the genius of tradition and innovation, blending elements of old-time, bluegrass, jazz, West Coast psychedelia, classical and gospel. www.theblackberrybushes.com Saturday, October 15th 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm Admission $12 Farmers Mercantile Hall 100 W Main St Garrison IA Refreshments by Garrison Library
