Returning to the Forest Concert Series is indie-folk band Dawson Hollow. With their sophomore album dropping this summer, Dawson Hollow’s music encompasses the nostalgia of folk while channeling the urgent and intoxicating energy of indie rock. Hailing from the Missouri Ozark Mountains, their unique and invigorating music brings alive a contagious passion and leaves listeners energized and refreshed.
Opening: Jamie Lou & The Hullabaloo
Founded by Florida native Jamie Lou Connolly, Arkansas’s Jamie Lou and The Hullabaloo have been called a modern Fleetwood Mac and equated to a female-fronted Wilco. Driven by the “dreamy voice” (Arkansas Times) and seasoned poetry of Connolly, and bolstered by the impressive collective talent that is The Hullabaloo, the Femi-Socialite EP marks Jamie Lou’s most beautiful, gritty, diverse, and self-assured collection of songs to date.
