"Folking the Unfolkable" every week since January 2023!

This isn’t your grandfather’s folk music. The improvisational duo, “Everything’s Folked Up” (JD Gardiner and Chauncey Canfield) reimagines chart-toppers and underground anthems using folk textures from button-box accordion and mandolin.

They don’t so much “cover” songs as transform them, taking melodies, rhythms, and emotions and forge them into something that's new, yet familiar.

The pair plays untold hundreds of tunes by ear, and no artist or era is off-limits. Spontaneity is central to their act – audiences can make requests or spin the “Wheel of Destiny” to determine the next tune.

Drawing from their decades of wildly-eclectic music tastes,they love finding unexpected kinship between genres, building a bridge between tradition and modernity while introducing audiences to songs from other generations.

Grab a pint from the carefully curated draft list, pull up a seat in the indoor/outdoor taproom, and grab a bite from the surrounding food trucks. It’s a completely laid-back, community-focused local vibe perfect for starting your week right.
