Mike & Linda Hertzog
Mike is a former bluegrass banjo champion from the Bloomsburg Fair. Linda plays an upright acoustic bass that is bigger than she is. Together they make beautiful music, vocally and instrumentally. Their specialties are Bluegrass (no surprise there), old-time folk, country, gospel, and Pa Dutch. Come and relax, and chase away those winter blues.

Linda Russell
The only official folk singer of the National Park Service (guess where?), with a terrifying story of how she wound up there. Old time folk on dulcimer, guitar, and who knows what else, and with stories to match.
A very entertaining lady!
