JD Eicher with Mike Mains

We’re delighted to announce JD Eicher is returning to the Ross Farm this summer! The Youngstown, OH-born and bred musician released his latest album,”The Middle Distance,” last May and has been busy touring to promote that record, as well as spending some time on the road with best-selling author Nicholas Sparks in support of Sparks’ latest novel, Two by Two. Eicher wrote an original song for the novel, and created an EP soundtrack to the author’s 20th novel. In fact, the novel, autographed by both the author and the musician, will be auctioned off at the Ross Farm Farm to Table Event on September 23.
Eicher played at the Ross Farm’s first Autumn Acoustic Afternoon in October 2015, bringing along Christian Lopez and Butch Parnell to open that event. Eicher returned last spring to play on the Tack House Patio stage with his percussionist Dylan Kollat and they filled the lawn with appreciative fans.
This year, Eicher is touring with indie rock musician Mike Mains. Mains released “Calm Down, Everything Is Fine” in February, to a debut at #15 on the Billboard Top New Artist Albums Chart. New York Minute Mag said it best: “In a time of Bieberesque silliness and hipster pretention, Mike Mains is a voice of reason.”
Feel free to bring lawn chairs or blankets to spread out under the shade trees by the Tack House. Light refreshments will be available, but guests are welcome to bring a picnic or snacks, too. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved to the beautiful estate home on the property and seating will be available inside.
