On Friday July 27, 7:30 p.m., the Blackberry Bushes will perform their first show in the islands at Woodmen Hall as part of the Home on the Grange series.

“Their lively fusion of deep roots American traditional music fused with elements of rock, jazz and pop creates a rich alt-folk tapestry of sound that shares threads with The Avett Brothers, Dixie Chicks, The Be Good Tanyas and Nickel Creek,” said Sue DuMond, presenter of the Home on the Grange shows.

The Blackberry Bushes hail from the rain-drenched forests of Olympia, Wash. They are known for taking a bluegrass instrumentation, drawing from the deep roots of American folk music and adding influences from Appalachian old-time, Indie Rock, jazz, pop and alternative country.

The Blackberry Bushes are fronted by sister sirens Jes Raymond and Kendl Winter and supported by virtuosic fiddler Jakob Breitback and mandolin player Jack Dwyer.

“The Blackberry Bushes will definitely get you up and dancing and like their thorny namesake they are rooted and growing and grooving with a tasty succulent treat that will leave you satisfied,” Dumond said. “It’s a busy time of the year and I urge islanders to pry themselves out of their gardens and summer projects, take a break and bask in dance and song.”

Tickets are $15 adults, kids free 12 and under, 12-16 – $8.
