It may be extremely hard to believe, but regardless of what you believe, we've already reached the Final Friday of the month again. There will be plenty of worthwhile places to visit tonight, but the Pendleton is always a great place to start. Also, this Saturday BuyCincy writer Jordan Neff is playing with Mark Utley and Magnolia Mountain at the Comet, so stop by and say hello! Details after the jump:
What: Final Friday
Where: Pendleton Art Center
When: Friday, April 25th @ 6:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M.
Cost: Free!
Folk/country/americana band led by guitarist/vocalist Mark Utley. The starting point for this project is Appalachian folk music; the music it came from, the music it became, and the music it birthed.
Mark is joined by lap steel/dobro player Rockne Riddlebarger, mandolin/harmonica player Bob Lese, guitarist/harmony vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jordan Neff, harmony vocalist Melissa English, upright bassist Bob Donisi, and drummer Matt Frazer. This ensemble, christened Magnolia Mountain, is now playing out regularly around the Cincinnati area. Anchored by an acoustic musical core and a strong commitment to vocal harmonies, the band is currently working out arrangements of Mark's original songs as well as an eclectic selection of covers that range from the Louvin Brothers to Son Volt, from Bill Monroe to the Flying Burrito Brothers, and from Hank Williams, Sr. to the Drive-By Truckers.
