Society Hall, at 400 Ross Avenue in Alamosa, is excited to welcome back the deep roots-country and “torch-folk” of Hogan and Moss and the Old Weird America, in concert on Saturday June 14th at 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 6:30. Tickets are $20.00 and are available at the link below, or in Alamosa at the Green Spot, or at the door. The concert will also stream live on the Society Hall Facebook page and You-Tube channel. Jon Hogan & Maria Moss and The Old Weird America play original songs and soulful covers that’ll move your heart and your feet. Songs by Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Blaze Foley, the families Carter and Cash, become cowpunk two-steps, swingy minor blues or trancey desert ballads with a side of Primitive Modernist mountain scorch. He sings lead. She plays it. Their band name honors the iconic book about Dylan by rock critic Greil Marcus, who gave them his blessing to use it. Jon and Maria will be joined by “East Side Flash” on dobro, accordion and keyboards and Peter Sing on bass, filling out the “Old Weird America” and will rock the stage as a full four-piece band. Hogan and Moss played a set at the Society Hall annual celebration last year and the Society Hall board wanted to invite them back to do a whole evening on their own. They are also no strangers to the San Luis Valley, having played at Wildwood Sounds and other venues around the area and have traveled, tramped and camped in the Valley for years. Their endless tour takes them all over the western United States, bringing their "torch folk" to delighted audiences wherever they roam. Their deep catalog of old country and folk tunes is augmented by their excellent originals, all delivered with their trademark “torch” energy and enthusiasm. Comments Society Hall board member and Alamosa music producer Don Richmond, “Not only are Jon and Maria and their band fabulous performers and fine songwriters, they are also in many ways historians and a walking archive of American country, roots and folk music, keeping the music of iconic but sometimes forgotten writers and performers alive and in circulation. And they do it all with an energy that will keep you alive too!” The board of Society Hall, a 501c-3 non-profit organization, invites you to help us welcome back Hogan and Moss and the Old Weird America and their potent mix of country and roots music to Society Hall, Saturday, June 14th at 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 6:30. Tickets are $20.00 and are available at the link below, or in Alamosa at the Green Spot, or at the door. Society Hall – Where Community Celebrates!
