Washington Street Easton, MD Tickets: $50 Tall Table for Two $50 Patio Set for Two $100 Patio Set for Four Please note that all ticket purchases are per table.  No individual seats sold. “BettySoo may well have the most gorgeous voice in Texas …if not in all contemporary folk – its purity and strength can be downright devastating.” – Acoustic Guitar Texas-based BettySoo’s vocal prowess is a thing of wonder. A world-class instrument of deft phrasing and purity, a voice that knows when to hold back and when to dive in. A voice that knows the roots of American music inside and out; coming from a most unexpected place – a diminutive Korean-American with a deceptively girl-next-door demeanor. Raised outside Houston by first-generation Korean immigrant parents, BettySoo grew up listening to the Great American songbook and country radio. Now at her own live shows or singing harmonies in sessions with Austin’s finest, she sings with consummate loveliness and self-assurance. https://bettysoo.com/

Part of EEDC's Sounds of Summer! If acoustic folk/rock/americana is your thing, have we got a treat for you! Captain Blue’s Grass Band from Delaware always puts on a fun show. Guitarists Josh Rose and C.J. Cutsail have enough talent each to carry the band on their own, and putting them together with equally talented bassist Joey Todd to pull it all together makes for great music. And that’s before we even get to their vocal harmonies. Captain Blue’s Grass Band can be found playing all over Delmarva, and they’ll be treating downtown Easton to their music in Thompson Park Saturday, July 17, from 10 AM to 1 PM. Don’t miss this one!

“The simple fact is that James McMurtry may be the truest, fiercest songwriter of his generation...” -Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly The son of acclaimed author Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove, Terms of Endearment), James grew up on a steady diet of Johnny Cash and Roy Acuff records. His first album, Too Long in the Wasteland (released in 1989), was produced by John Mellencamp and marked the beginning of a series of acclaimed projects. Never one to rest on his laurels, McMurtry tours year round and consistently throws down unparalleled powerhouse performances. The Washington Post notes: “Much attention is paid to James McMurtry’s lyrics and rightfully so: He creates a novel’s worth of emotion and experience in four minutes of blisteringly stark couplets. What gets overlooked, however, is that he’s an accomplished rock guitar player ... serious stuff, imparted by a singularly serious band.” http://www.jamesmcmurtry.com/
