8241 FM 279 - Downtown Edom, TX 75754 - (903)

Original Singer/Songwriter Folk Music Concert Calendar 11th Season
Our small, intimate, smoke-free and alcohol-free
"Coffeehouse" music room is host to
singer/songwriters from all over the country
who stop in Edom to entertain with their original
music. With concerts approximately once each
month, most of the money collected for ticket
sales will go to the artist. Coffee, Soft Drinks,
and Desserts are available before and during
the concerts.
ADMISSION POLICY:
Since our room is relatively small (around 50-70
seats), we strongly recommend purchasing
your tickets in advance to insure seating.
If you purchase in advance, you will be on the
"Early Entry List" and be the first
to enter the music room! Admission prices are
indicated for each concert. Advance ticket purchases
can be made up to the day before the concert
using the paypal button or by calling 903-852-2781
to arrange payment by check or by credit card.
Checks must be received no later than 2 days
prior to the concert (along with contact info
in the event the concert is already sold out).
Paypal and Credit Card payments will incur a
service fee (amount indicated in each concert
description) to cover the cost of processing
and any other fees (so that performers will
still get the full admission). PLEASE NOTE that
we are NOT a non-profit organization so any
donations are NOT tax-deductible. In order to
maintain a quiet listening environment, we ask
that members of our audience please be over
13 years of age unless otherwise indicated.
The Old Firehouse is a "labor
of love" brought to you by Jeff & Judy
Gottesman. While we are not a "not for
profit" organization, we still need to
make a small profit in order to cover our expenses.
Please consider making a donation to enable
us to continue bringing the music we all love
to Edom. Donations are NOT tax-deductible, but
sure help us make ends meet. Thanks.....Jeff
& Judy

Modern-folk duo Friction Farm,
is a husband and wife team of traveling troubadours.
Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay, combine storytelling,
social commentary and humor to create songs
of everyday life, local heroes, and quirky
observations. Their lyrically rich, harmony-driven
songs earned them spots as Kerrville New Folk
Finalists, Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists,
and South Florida Folk Festival Songwriter
winners. Friction Farm’s latest CD, “So
Many Stars” , which reached #6 on the
Folk Radio Chart, was inspired by travels
across the country witnessing the collision
of strong political polarity with personal
kindness, the intersection of fragility and
breathtaking beauty.
“infectiously hummable
tunes”
– New Times Magazine Miami FL
“They were utterly charming.
Their well-written songs cover a wide gamut
and their delivery is spot on. They should
be much better known“.
– Rich Warren, Host WFMT’s Folk
Stage and Midnight Special

From Texas' upper east side,
award-winning singer-songwriters Lynn Adler
and Lindy Hearne connect with audiences coast
to coast. Their music is a signature blend
of original folk, jazz and blues with deep
Texas roots. With 12+ recordings and decades
of touring between them, their repertoire
is playful, poignant and poetic – including
sparky love ballads, historically based tributes,
children’s music, quirky story songs,
modern-day spirituals, and anthems of justice
and peace.
Raised by musical families and
nurtured by choirs through college, the two
met in Nashville, and now pay it forward together
in performances from listening-room venues,
festivals and community events to churches,
libraries and schools.
Lynn co-wrote the theme song
for the hit PBS children’s TV series
"Wishbone." Her diverse writing
background brings added experience to the
duo's workshops and presentations. Lindy sang
in the famed Texas Boys Choir as a child,
and for several years he and his band were
Roy Clark’s backup group performing with
Roy from Las Vegas to Hee Haw to Carnegie
Hall.
How to describe Adler &
Hearne's music and vibe? Think 'song circle'
between Johnny and June Cash, Antonio Carlos
Jobim and Astrud Gilberto, and Gordon Lightfoot
and Joni Mitchell.
This is their fourth visit to The Old Firehouse,
and we are always thrilled to have them back
and a great way to end our 11th season.
