Wednesday, Aug. 6: New Relm
What happens when modern country, honky-tonk, bluegrass, folk and blues collide? You get a diverse, yet dynamic, blend of music, vocal styles and instrumentation. NEW RELM plays both catchy originals and cover tunes. Original members and partners for over 18 years, Harold Olmstead III and Elise Sproul, are known for their entertaining performances (that may include animated antics), tight harmonies, versatility and evocative vocals. Harold plays guitar, harmonica or fiddle and Elise plays guitar, banjo, dobro, fiddle, flute or bass. Many of their songs have a Maine, western or rural theme.
This event is exclusively sponsored by Northern Lights Bike and Ski Shop.
