Haymaker Farmers' Market will sponsor a performance of the River Bottom Bushwhackers at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the market site on Franklin Avenue in Kent. This concert will inaugurate the "Music at the Market" series that aims to encourage interaction of the local arts and music communities with the farmers' market.
Formed in 1999, the River Bottom Bushwhackers are a traditional string band with a spirited sound reminiscent of days gone by. The group's five members (David Badagnani, Mark Bussinger, Jack DiAlesandro, Renie DiAlesandro, and Tim Newman) play an eclectic mix of traditional acoustic Australian, Irish, and American songs and tunes, and their instrumentation includes fiddle, mandolin, octave mandolin, banjo, guitar, harmonica, accordion, xylophone, recorder, washtub bass, bodhrn, washboard, drums, lagerphone, and cajn.
According to market manager, Fritz Seefeldt, "The market was founded to foster a closer connection between the farmers who grow our food in the Portage County area and the Kent community. Since music is such an important part of Kent's past and present, it is a natural development to bring music to the farmers market. Not only is the market a great place to buy your produce and fresh baked goods, but it's become a place to meet your neighbors and enjoy some local homegrown music as well."
All concerts will be free of charge and open to the community.
The next event in the "Music at the Market" series will feature an acoustic guitar performance by Mr. Timothy Koehler on July 5. Local musicians interested in performing at the market this season should contact Fritz Seefeldt at kentmarket@neo.rr.com.
Haymaker Farmers' Market runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through October 25 and is located just south of the Haymaker overpass on Franklin Avenue.
