The Old
Firehouse
8241 FM 279 - Downtown Edom, TX 75754 - (903)
852-ART1(2781)
Original Singer/Songwriter Folk Music
Concert Calendar 10th Anniversary
Dedicated to the Memory of Rocky Fugate
|
|
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.
COME
EARLY - ENJOY EDOM!
Visit our galleries and shops
Have lunch or dinner in one of our restaurants
Spend the night in one of our B&Bs
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

Part virtuoso and part storyteller,
you might say that Jacob Johnson does with
a guitar what Gene Kelly did with dance. Although
his songwriting has won awards and his guitar-playing
has put him on stage with Tommy Emmanuel and
Phil Keaggy, his ability as an entertainer
is what has won fans throughout the southeast.
He refers to himself as "a ham that just
wants to be on stage" but he’s much
more than that. Jacob is an amazingly talented
guitarist and songwriter which, combined with
a bit of a personality, makes for a wildly
impressive stage performance.
"Part of the new breed of folk musicians
who make their own rules"
-The Savannah Morning News (Savannah, GA)
"Johnson sounds like
Norman Rockwell paintings and the open road.
He is a virtuoso, expressing a working comprehension
of dozens of techniques and styles. He has
blended and blurred the lines of genres to
craft a sound he calls 'Neo-Acoustic Folk/Funk'."
- The Florence Morning News (Florence,
SC)

Chicago-based singer-songwriter
Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable,
soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing
songs, but perhaps most especially for her
warm, engaging presence on – and off
– stage. As much a part of her show as
the music itself, Carey’s wry and often
self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as
though they have just spent an evening with
a very close friend.
Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges,
and listening rooms across the US, Canada
and Europe since 1999, performing alongside
Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile,
and Shawn Mullins. She’s also been a
featured artist on NPR’s Mountain Stage.
Artists like Edie Carey provide a valuable,
if underappreciated, public service. As per
her official bio, Carey occupies that “middle
ground between singing at weddings and being
Madonna,” and while she might never be
a pop star, this strumming balladeer poetess
writes truthful, elegant songs for adults.
- M Music & Musicians
"Carey may have started
out wanting to be a doctor but she found her
true calling in music. Her pop-folk songs
are smart tales of love, life and longing."
- Chicago Sun-Times
