Friday Getaway Concert

Friday night at The Fall Folk Project Acoustic Getaway

This is the worldwide web’s first peek into the wonderful weekend that Project members have been raving about for 50-years. The concert features Jacob Johnson, Sam Robbins, and Circle Round the Sun.

JACOB JOHNSON
Part virtuoso and part storyteller, you might say that JACOB JOHNSON does with a guitar what Gene Kelly did with dance. Although his songwriting has won awards and his guitar-playing has put him on stage with Tommy Emmanuel and Phil Keaggy, his ability as an entertainer is what has won fans throughout the southeast. He refers to himself as "a ham that just wants to be on stage" but he’s much more than that. Jacob is an amazingly talented guitarist and songwriter which, combined with a bit of a personality, makes for a wildly impressive stage performance

SAM ROBBINS is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville-based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive touring and as a 2021 winners in the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition, one of the largest and most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country.

CIRCLE ROUND THE SUN is an acoustic Americana band comprised of vocalists Marie Trontell and Jay Wilensky, Chris Bukata and Joe Brice on guitars, and George LaVecchia on bass. This Folk Project-based quintet brings rich vocal harmonies and agile instrumentals to a mix of creative originals and well-chosen covers. For more than 15 years, Circle Round the Sun has performed in venues as diverse as radio, concerts, festivals, farmer’s markets, benefits, and coffee houses.
