Program Description

Event Details

Truck-driving Adirondack folk musician, Josh Clevenstine, follows in the footsteps of his musical mentors, Chris Shaw and Dan Berggren. A proud “tradition-bearer.” Josh is passionate about applying his own style to old songs and traditions and passing them along to the next generation. His music - propelled by crosspicking guitar reminiscent of the great Johnny Cash - is marked by honest lyrics drawn from his own experiences. Harlan Howard famously described country music as “3 chords and the truth,” and Josh’s powerful songs are a testament to the magic inherent in that particular formula.

Folklife Live & Local concerts are scheduled for the 6 Wednesdays of Take a Bite in downtown Glens Falls. You'll find the bands under the trees of City Park in front of the Library.

These concerts are hosted by the Folklife Center of Crandall Public Library and funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts supported by the Governor's Office and the New York State Legislature.
