Hey friends! As this weekend comes to a close, we’re already looking forward to next weekend, as our 2026 Music in the Garden Series kicks off with Hey Mavis, Saturday at 6p.
This Northcoast Americana band has been weaving a musical tapestry and igniting a following of dedicated fans. With heartfelt vocals, honest songwriting, blazing instrumental solos, and an undeniable onstage musical chemistry, this quartet is the definition of great Americana music.
