Bonny June and Bonfire
It's Bonny's Birthday! Help her celebrate!

Presented by Fiddling Cricket Concerts & Canyon Acoustic Society
AT THE UGLY MUG CAFE

Contact Fiddling Cricket at 408 499 9441 or crbrundle@gmail.com for reservations or more information.
Reservations still pay at the door, by cash or check.
Food and Drink: Beer, wine, coffee, tea and soft drinks available. Usual coffee shop food. (if you wish, bring your own wine and pay corkage)

Coined by fans as "Americana meets Vaudeville", owing to their flair for dramatic storytelling, this trio harmonizes wonderfully. A Bonfire show is playful, comedic, deep and dynamic. Songstress/songwriter, Bonny June's beautiful vocals are expertly accompanied by guitarist Ken Kraft (Snail; White Album Ensemble) and bassist Craig Owens (Lacy J Dalton), who also provide perfect harmony and some lead vocals.

This will be the third year Bonny has had her Birthday show at Ugly Mug. Please come and help her celebrate it! There may be cake! Possibly Champagne (fake)!

Robbie Fulks
Alt Country, singer-songwriter, ace flat picker
Friday, June 13th, 7.00pm (doors open at 6.30pm); $25 adv / $30 dr (Money collected at the door)

Presented by Fiddling Cricket Concerts & Canyon Acoustic Society
AT THE UGLY MUG CAFE

Robbie Fulks is a singer, recording artist, instrumentalist, composer, and songwriter. His most recent release, 2017's Upland Stories, earned year's-best recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone among many others, as well as two Grammy® nominations. He has a dozen or more albums. He learned guitar (he is an ace flatpicker) from his dad and banjo from Earl Scruggs and John Hartford records.

His early solo work (following some bluegrass band involvement), -- Country Love Songs (1996) and South Mouth (1997) -- helped define the "alternative country" movement of the 1990s. For the last several years his music leans mainly to acoustic instrumentation, returning him in part to his bluegrass days, and extending the boundaries of that tradition with old-time rambles and sparely orchestrated reflections on love, the slings of time, and the troubles of common people.

Robbie has appeared on many, many radio and TV shows, including Austin City Limits; NBC's Today, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Artists who have covered his songs include Sam Bush, Kelly Hogan, Andrew Bird, Mollie O'Brien, Rosie Flores, and John Cowan. http://www.robbiefulks.com

Peter Appelbome of NYT described his music as "one part artful country, one part artful send up of country, one part everything else"
