Join us for a celebration Donna Lynn Caskey’s birthday as well as her 25th banjo-versary- 25 years since she started playing banjo. The evening will feature heartfelt, moving original songs from her three albums plus others yet to be released. And cake! Come experience the joy of music and community at Namba. $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

I'll share a few songs as part of this First Friday performance art variety show event at Art City. Narci Lee, Emma Burke, Cosmic Flute, and Justin Downes are also on the bill. Free.

Step into a night of raw, soulful storytelling and high-energy Americana that feels both intimate and electrifying. You’ll leave feeling lifted, connected, and a little more alive—like you’ve just shared something rare and real. Headlining the evening, Abby Posner is a genre-defying multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter whose sound blends haunting folk with foot-stomping Americana. Recently featured on NPR’s Mountain Stage, her music has appeared across Hulu, Netflix, and more. A festival favorite (AmericanaFest, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass), Posner delivers a dynamic, powerful performance that’s both deeply personal and wildly engaging. Joining her is Kristen Ford, a magnetic indie folk-rock artist known for her gritty vocals, emotional honesty, and anthemic songwriting that invites you in and stays with you long after the last note. Opening the night, Donna Lynn Caskey—an innovative clawhammer banjo player and songwriter—brings a warm, heartfelt presence rooted in old-time mountain traditions, weaving stories of resilience, hope, and joy (with a few sing-along moments you won’t want to miss). An evening of powerful women, unforgettable songs, and the kind of connection that only happens in a listening room.
