Fairview Parks Department is happy to announce that The Howlin’ Brothers will be headlining the Starlight Jam on July 24th. The Howlin’ Brothers are a Nashville based string band composed of Ian Craft, Jared Green, and JT Huskey. Anchored in a bed of old-time blues and bluegrass, their upbeat shows are heavy with original and traditional music, featuring the sounds of slide banjo, harmonica and old-time fiddle. Sounding like what would happen if a bunch of Appalachian punk rockers formed a jug-band, The Howlin’ Brothers play with a ferocious energy that drags you in and finds you boogieing along in spite of yourself. Rolling Stone – included The Howlin’ Brothers album TROUBLE in “The 26 Albums of 2014 You Probably Didn’t But Really Should Hear”.
The Starlight Jam is a concert series at Bowie Park that include picking parties that started in April and will run through October. Each month will include live Americana music on the main stage. Pickers are encouraged to bring their instruments and find a spot under the trees to jam. The goal is to provide a place for musicians to get together and play and for music lovers to have a place to go and enjoy great music in a laid back, family friendly environment under the stars.
Starlight Jam is located outside under the stars in Bowie Nature Park from 7-10PM, with gates opening up at 6:30PM. Opening for The Howlin’ Brothers at 7pm will be a very talented student from Fairview Guitar and Repair: Julia Evaskis.

COAST TO COAST BLUES NIGHT
2015-08-13 20:00
Mark Hummel, Charlie Baty and Anson Funderburgh Golden State Lone Star Revue. Sponsored by the Nashville Blues Society, this exciting double bill is a union of blues greats from across the country.
GOLDEN STATE LONE STAR REVUE
This new supergroup boasts harmonica legend Mark Hummel, Texas blues guitar hero Anson Funderburgh (Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets) and West Coast jump blues guitar virtuoso Charlie Batey (Little Charlie & the Nightcats), playing a blend of original songs and classics that set a high bar for musical excitement. Their collective name reflects this history-making union of outstanding veteran blues artists from the Lone Star State and California, two longtime bastions of the music. All three performers are Blues Music Award winners and among the most respected figures in contemporary blues today.
THE ANDY T — NICK NIXON BAND
The Nashville-based Andy T – Nick Nixon Band has quickly developed an international reputation for excellence in traditional blues, garnering a Blues Music Award nomination for their second album Livin’ It Up. California-born guitarist Andy T, a veteran of Smokey Wilson’s and Guitar Shorty’s bands, brings a pedigreed six-string approach stoked by the fires of T-Bone Walker and Albert Collins, among other guitar greats, to the fore, while veteran singer Nick Nixon, who emerged from Nashville’s Jefferson Street music scene in the 1960s and was signed to the historic Chess label, is a powerhouse whose voice can only be described as a force of nature. This show is a special album-release celebration for their new album Numbers Man, scheduled for August 28.
