Poet from Chicago, rambled out to Montana, cut a banjo from a tamarack, strings across the country, foot like a freight train, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams.

Folk. Folk Rock. Americana.

Old Sap just released Marble Home, his best work yet,

“a record that understands music as shared space. For listeners who believe albums should feel alive, Marble Home delivers fully.”

—Claire Uebelacker, Ballyhoo Magazine

Jennifer Rhea Linville and Owen Grooms play heartwarming original and traditional songs on guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle. Jenn grew up in Transylvania County, North Carolina, and has played music here throughout her life’s journey with her family and friends, including the bands Chrysalis and The Woven. Owen plays with Pretty Little Goat and other regional bands, and teaches traditional music through the Transylvania County Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) Program. Together, they offer sweet harmonies that bring ease to your soul and a smile to your face. Their debut self-titled album was released in June 2024 and features Jenn’s evocative songwriting and soulful lead vocals, traditional tunes brought to life by Owen’s unique clawhammer banjo style and lead singing, and Jenn’s beautiful harmonies. The duo released their second album, Under the Hawthorn Tree, in June of 2025 which features more instrumentation and guest artists, while keeping the music heartfelt, honest and sincere. Their newest album, Sail Away Ladies, is a retreat to simplicity, in that it features only gourd banjo and vocals, and was recorded on tape. Join us for an evening of dynamic traditional and original mountain music.

Madeline Dierauf and Lindsay Emmons—fresh off a summer of touring together with The Wilder Flower—are excited to bring original songs and (too) many instruments to The Canteen. Brevard native Madeline Dierauf is a blue-ribbon fiddler and creative songwriter, as well as a graduate student of the English and Appalachian ballad traditions. Lindsay Emmons, of Columbia, SC, is an acclaimed bassist, guitarist, singer, and songwriter, touring with bands such as Admiral Radio and The Resonant Rogues. At their debut duo show, Madeline and Lindsay will sing in harmony, tell a few stories, fiddle too fast, and celebrate the last day of August with the wonderful Canteen community. Hope to see you there!
