family, God and country and deep feeling into his

Saturday, November 14th...The
WIYOS
The WIYOS, from Rockland,
Maine, play and compose old-timey American music
inspired by the early American musical icons of the
1920s and '30s.
 Gleefully subverting genre
distinctions, their music comes from a time before
commercial formatting separated blues from country,
ragtime from gospel and swing from hillbilly. With
an instrumentation of washboard, harmonica and kazoo,
resonator guitar and banjo, upright bass and three-part
harmony vocals, the WIYOS ' performances transport
audiences back to an era before TV and mass media were
the main sources of entertainment....just the kind of
music that would have been heard in places like the Fun
Barn several decades ago.
Saturday, December 12th...Annual
Cowboy Christmas Ball with Les Gilliam & The Silver
Lake
Band
Les Gilliam
returns for another Fun Barn engagement, this time he's
featuring his Silver Lake Band for an old-fashioned
Christmas dance for young and old alike. Make
plans now to ring in the holiday season with this
wonderful Fun Barn tradition. The festivities
begin at 7 p.m. with hearty hors d'oerves and fun
for all.
