Summary

- Event celebrates the growing popularity of folk music in the US.

The Hawley's Grove Hootenanny is coming to Lockport, offering a platform for local folk musicians. This Saturday event at 482 West Ave. will feature five bands, including artists skilled with fiddle and banjo. They will perform a blend of original compositions and popular covers, drawing from folk, bluegrass, and country styles. The organizers aimed to bring together bands that share a similar musical genre, noting the relatively infrequent large folk concerts in Western New York.
The event also reflects the broader trend of folk music's growing popularity in the United States. Artists like Mumford and Sons and Noah Kahn have significantly contributed to this resurgence. The Hootenanny will provide a space for these local musicians to share their passion, with vendors offering food and beverages throughout the day. Performances are scheduled to run from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., with an indoor option available in case of rain.
