Margaret Cho describes Girlyman: "They seamlessly blend folk, country, pop, and rock, and they genre bend as fearlessly and flawlessly as they gender-bend." The quartet were one of the break-out hits of last summer's Folks Festival, and they open the Wildflower on Friday, March 11. The series continues the following Friday (March 18) with the transcendental folk of Elephant Revival and carries into April with the progressive music of award-winning bassist Missy Raines & the New Hip (April 8) and longtime Folks Festival favorite Ellis (April 15). Tickets are now available for these cozy indoor evenings next to the St. Vrain River in "one of the coolest venues in Boulder County" (Daily Camera). Get yours at http://shop.bluegrass.com, 303-823-0848, or in-person at The Stone Cup. --------------------------- A literary 3-part harmony extravaganza... ** GIRLYMAN ** Friday, March 11, 8:00pm $15 advance / $17 door --------------------------- An magical evening of transcendental folk... ** ELEPHANT REVIVAL w/ special guest REED FOEHL ** Friday, March 18, 8:00pm $15 advance / $17 door --------------------------- Deft vocal change-ups & musically witty instrumentals... ** MISSY RAINES & THE NEW HIP ** Friday, April 8, 8:00pm $15 advance / $17 door --------------------------- Folk singer, dharma teacher, comedienne... ** ELLIS ** Friday, April 15, 8:00pm $15 advance / $17 door --------------------------- Plan to spend a full evening in our wonderful town of Lyons.
