Nathan Rogers with Leonard Podolak & J.D. Edwards

Sun 18 Mar 5pm

This is a one-time-only tour of me singing my Dad's music. I will be supported by a great band ‘Dry Bones’ including Leonard Podolak and J.D. Edwards. We are going to have a pile of fun and this music is known to elicit..shall we say...emotional responses of various types. Don't miss it. Thanks!”

Drybones is a brand new band, but its members are well acquainted with the stage.  Each of the three brings a particular flavour – Leonard Podolok’s wry sense of humour; Nathan Rogers’  (son of the legendary Stan Rogers) fiery insight, and J. D. Edwards lonesome howl. And that’s just the beginning; proving once again that folk music is alive and well.
