The Homestead – Music on the Mountain – Blue Water Ramblers – July 5, 2015


The Blue Water Ramblers sing extraordinary folk music- the folk song of Michigan, America and YOUR life. They perform wherever people want to celebrate: Folk festivals and concerts, paddle wheelers and lake ships, in cities and out in the woods, on stages and around campfires, at church gatherings and traditional dances.

The Blue Water Ramblers’ repertoire comes right out of our Michigan life experiences and the history of the Great Lakes region. It includes lake shanties, lumberman ballads, union rallying cries, farmers’ paeans, Michigan humor, ’60s civil rights and protest music, love songs, gospel music and children’s ditties. Everyone agrees that these combine into a versatile repertoire to the delight and entertainment of their audiences. “I think my hero, Woody Guthrie, would approve,” opined Banjo-Jim. “We’re singing the people’s songs about the people’s lives and they can join right in and sing along.”

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door

The Homestead – Music on the Mountain – Rhett Betty – July 15, 2015


It is difficult to determine who and what has influenced Lynne Kerr the most. Born and raised south of the Mason-Dixon line infused a little swampy soul and Southern twang in her voice. It was not until her third decade that she finally stood in front of the microphone. Then she finally realized her dream of singing songs by some of her major influences. Hopefully Ann Wilson, Patsy Cline, Sister Rosetta Sharp, and Susan Tedeschi would be proud.

Tony Ryan first heard the Beatles at age 7 and immediately realized what he wanted to do. He has been a performing musician playing rock, blues and has now collaborated his style with the marvelous voice and country influences of Lynne Kerr to form “Rhett Betty”.”

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door
