Jazz, country, bluegrass, rock; the Artisans at the Dahmen Barn will bring it all to its second annual Summer Concert Series.

The Summer Concert Series is separated into six different concerts, each featuring a different music group, as described on the Artisans at the Dahmen Barn website.

The first concert is The Palouse Jazz Project on June 11. This group is made up of staff members from the Lionel Hampton School of Music from the University of Idaho. The Palouse Jazz Project performs jazz classics as well as original compositions written by members of the ensemble.

The Wes Weddell Band will perform June 18. The group is from Seattle, but has ties to the Palouse. Wes Weddell graduated from Pullman High School in 1998, and Brian Hoskins, keyboard player, graduated from WSU in 1998.

Bridges Home, who will perform July 9, is made up of Tami and Dave Gunter as vocalists and instrumentalists. The two play guitar, tenor ukulele, claw hammer banjo, accordion, harp and more, performing Americana and Celtic music.

The fourth concert is Lucky Rowland and Keith Ochoa on July 23. This local group plays country rock, and has performed around the area. Rowland was found performing on the sidelines of a festival in the Gorge last summer, and while performing, he gathered enough of a crowd to be invited on stage, although he was not part of the festival, said Leslee Miller, art barn manager.

Greg and Caridwen Spatz will perform August 6. The two met at the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop. Their music features fiddles and vocals in the Celtic, eastern European, French Canadian and bluegrass styles.

The final concert is Nu-Blu, a group from North Carolina, on August 20. This group was invited back by the art barn after receiving a standing ovation at the concert series last year. Nu-Blu features vocals, mandolin and guitar to perform Americana-bluegrass pieces.

The Artisans at the Dahmen Barn held last year’s concert in an unfinished space, fitting about 175 people into the room, Miller said. This space didn’t have any air conditioning, but this year the space is finished and will be more comfortable for the audience.

The barn also has its liquor license, so there will be beer and wine from the Wawawai Canyon Winery for visitors over 21.

Each concert is from 7 – 9 p.m., tickets are only available for $15 at the door, starting at 6:15 p.m. the day of the concert.
