FIRST FRIDAY: Jeni Grouws & Nori Hadley
It’s the first official First Friday of summer! Come help us kick off our summer courtyard concert series. Local favorites, Jeni Grouws and Nori Hadley, have been playing music together in various groups and settings for over six years. With Grouws on guitar, Hadley on fiddle, and both on spectacular vocals, the duo delivers an irresistible blend of originals, well-known bluegrass, folk tunes, and possibly a seventies sing-along or two. Both are members of the all-female combo Done Doin’ Laundry, and collaborate with Mark Stumme, Eric Berg, and Steve Smith in one of Decorah’s most popular party bands, Absolute Hoot.
THANK YOU
