Strays&Misfits

Strays&Misfits are a husband and wife folk duo that hail from West Grove, PA. Their unique style combines elements of Americana, blues, gospel and rock. Their lyrics weave insightful perspectives on many tableaus of existence from the seemingly mundane to the epic wonder of life and death — placing importance on every aspect of the human experience.

Henry Koretzky

Henry Koretzky has been playing with bands since the 1980s in styles ranging from bluegrass to swing to celtic to klezmer to contradance to old-time to folk. It’s rare that he gets an opportunity to perform as a soloist, so this will be set of favorite songs accompanied by his guitar, mandolin and mandocello.

Bobbi Carmitchell

Bobbi Carmitchell has been a steady voice in the music world for the last 40 years, having extensively travelled North America. Her music has been featured on numerous compilations throughout the Northeast, and she has nine recordings of her own. Bobbi will be offering a sampling of her original songs.

Friar Jon

Friar Jon crafts folk songs that feel timeless yet rooted in the present. His warm, resonant voice and deft touch on the guitar create an intimate soundscape that draws listeners in, weaving together reflections on spirituality, life, and connection. With melodies that linger and words that resonate, his music invites audiences into a space where storytelling and spirit meet.
