March 14, 2025

Join us at Elliott Art Studio, 112 S. Chestnut St. in Jefferson for award-winning duo the Weary Ramblers. “The Weary Ramblers will break your heart and change your life with original songs that cut to the marrow…it doesn’t get more heart-warmingly down home than this recently united duo, featuring Chad Elliott on guitar and vocals and Kathryn Severing Fox on vocals, guitar, fiddle, viola, mandolin, and piano. Both bring a disarming intimacy to their writing, singing and playing that will leave you glowing with reasons to be alive. Chad is a veteran of the Paradiso stage, having left us in a puddle…the addition of Kathryn increases the melt factor exponentially.” - Fairfield Muse
