August Poetluck - Featuring Jim Dudley

We're excited to welcome featured guest Jim, a local songwriter whose tunes are rooted in the people and history of the Ozarks. Jim picked up a guitar around age 40 and—without knowing exactly why—started writing songs that honor forgotten voices, working folks, and stories that don’t always make the headlines. Love songs? Not many. The last one may have ended in a divorce, so he’s stuck mostly to anthems for the underdog.

A longtime member of the Fayetteville songwriters circle, Jim has released five albums, attended a few camps, and somehow even found his way to Lincoln Center (with a little help from the house band at Mountain View). No big accolades—just a genuine love for storytelling, shared in song. And yes, he might just give you a CD in exchange for a good story.

Jim will be accompanied by musician, David Geneson.

Bring a dish, bring a poem, bring a friend. As always, an open mic follows our featured guest—so come ready to share your own words, songs, or musings.
