Cowchella will feature 7 musicians in the barn for three sets carried by Jeremy Moses Curtis, Jimmy Ryan, and Bow Thayer, backed by Krishna Guthrie and Jack Snyder on guitar, Jeremy Dryden on bass and Jeff Berlin on drums.
Jeremy Moses Curtis opens the night in support of his new release Midlife Chrysler. Best known to Central Vermonters as the bassist for Perfect Trainwreck during their ten year run, his acclaim goes well beyond the green mountains. "Moses",as his bandmates call him, has toured with an array of artists including Booker T, Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst, Caitin Canty, and Chris Smither.
Jimmy Ryan takes the mic for the second set again this year. For over thirty years with his mandolin and song writing, Jimmy has melded styles from Punk to Bluegrass. Put him in a box if we must and call it Americana, but you better make it a big one to contain his vast collection of songs and stringed instruments.
Bow Thayer's familiar voice and songs will put a wrap to the evening, but not before the crowd is indulged by the swamp rock that his bands are known for. Better bring dancing shoes.
