SUMMARY:HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF with Free Range at the Ross Farm June 20
DESCRIPTION:HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF\, the musical project of songwriter Alynda Segarra\, brings their acclaimed live performance to the Ross Farm for a special outdoor concert on Saturday\, June 20. \nBorn in the Bronx and later based in New Orleans\, Segarra has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary folk and Americana. Their work blends elements of folk\, indie rock\, and roots music with deeply personal songwriting and expansive storytelling. \nHURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF’s latest release\, The Past Is Still Alive\, has been widely praised as a powerful and singular work\, exploring themes of identity\, memory\, loss\, and survival. The album reflects Segarra’s evolution as an artist and continues to expand their influence within modern American music. \nOpening the evening is Free Range\, the project of Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sofia Jensen\, whose introspective folk-rock blends raw lyricism with a quietly powerful emotional pull. Writing with striking honesty and a sense of intimate storytelling\, Jensen creates songs that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. Performing solo in this special opening set\, Jensen brings the heart of Free Range’s music to the stage in its most direct and compelling form – just voice\, guitar\, and the stories that connect us. \n\n \nThis performance will take place outdoors on the historic grounds of the Ross Farm in Basking Ridge\, NJ. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Picnics and outside food are permitted; please carry in and carry out all items. Free on-site parking is available. This event will be held rain or shine. All ticket sales are final. \nHURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF: https://hurrayfortheriffraff.com\nFREE RANGE: https://freerangesongs.com \n\n

SUMMARY:Eilen Jewell
DESCRIPTION:Gates open  5 p.m.\, concert begins at  6 p.m. \n Tickets\n \nKnown for her incredible blend of Americana\, folk\, and roots music\, Eilen Jewell recently celebrated the release of remastered and expanded “Butcher Holler” on deluxe vinyl\, her tribute album to Loretta Lynn\, which she called “a labor of love honoring one of my greatest musical inspirations.” American Songwriter hails Eilen Jewell as one of America’s most intriguing\, creative\, and idiosyncratic voices. The Boise\, Idaho songwriter leads a tight quartet that fuses influences of surf-noir\, early blues\, classic country\, folk\, and 1960s-era rock ‘n’ roll. \nFor well over a decade\, they’ve toured relentlessly for legions of fans from Boston to Boise and Madrid to Melbourne\, playing large festivals\, theaters\, rock clubs\, and coffeehouses. The group has shared stages with the likes of Lucinda Williams\, Loretta Lynn\, Mavis Staples\, Wanda Jackson\, George Jones\, Emmylou Harris\, and Blind Boys of Alabama. \nEilen’s fans have marveled at her warmth and onstage humor alongside her beautiful songs and fiery performances. In addition to seven of her own full-length albums\, Jewell has released two albums with her country-gospel side project\, the Sacred Shakers; a tribute album to Loretta Lynn titled Butcher Holler; and a recent album of rare blues covers\, Down Hearted Blues. The Los Angeles Daily News praised her: “Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams\, at others as defiant and teasing as prime Peggy Lee and always authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition…She’s mighty good.” \nJoin us for this special early evening concert as we welcome Eilen Jewell back to the Ross Farm.

SUMMARY:Niall Connolly - An Afternoon of Stories in Song
DESCRIPTION:The barn doors open at  1:30 p.m. and the music begins at  2 p.m. Rain or shine—no refunds. \n Tickets  \nBorn in the final hours of 1977 in the suburbs of Cork\, Ireland\, Niall Connolly was raised on a soundtrack that shaped his storytelling soul—Nirvana on the Walkman\, Leonard Cohen on his sister’s stereo\, and the vibrant voices of Cork’s 1990s music scene. Later came snippets of New York street conversations\, tales of woe on the radio\, and the hum of highways across Europe. Every experience finds its way into Connolly’s music\, woven into melodies that unfold like stories—layer by layer\, listen by listen. In the studio\, he builds rich harmonies. On stage\, he delivers a mix of electricity\, sincerity\, and humor that captivates audiences worldwide. \nNiall played to an appreciative – and packed – music room inside the Ross Farm house last winter\, so we are thrilled to be able to welcome a larger audience inside the barn on Sunday\, May 4 for an unforgettable afternoon of music and storytelling. Seating inside the barn is limited and provided. Early May afternoons can be chilly\, so extra layers are recommended.
