STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
Original songs with old souls. The Carter Family canon. West Texas waltzes. Appalachian mystery rants and midcentury swing.
That’s what you can look forward to at Ketch’em Alive Tuesday night.
Hogan & Moss and their band Old Weird America will perform a free outdoor concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 22, in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park at 1st and Washington streets.
The band features Jon Hogan and Maria Moss, who play more than 250 shows a year throughout the Texas Hill Country, Big Bend and the West. They’ve also played in Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Based in Houston, their shows range from high-energy full-band dance celebrations with bass, drums, mandolin, lap steel and fiddle to more intimate performances with upright bass.
Their Old Weird America band takes its name from Greil Marcus’ work of American music criticism. And in 2018 they were selected as Facilitating Songwriters/Artists in Residence in a research initiative funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, in which they worked with nonprofits foundations to bring music, music history and the craft of songwriting to communities.
