- **Event Description**: We're Celebrating Nature Through Song this WinterFest!

Four amazing acts (six music artists) are coming together to share both familiar covers and originals. We'll be invited to sing along with a few too. 

Our Lineup:

Tim Southwick Johnson is a multi-instrumentalist / singer- songwriter from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. His music runs the gamut from sweet ballads and compelling story songs to quirky art pieces and instrumentals. He will share his "Sand County Songs," a set inspired by Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac."

Let Evening Come
Veteran Chicago singer-songwriter/guitarist Andrew Calhoun is joined by percussionist Melissa Dagenhart on djembe. Their set of lyrical, reflective nature songs will include "Morning has Broken" by Eleanor Farjeon, "Gentle Arms of Eden" by Dave Carter and "Follow the Heron" by Karine Polwart. 

Brandon Reisdorf comes to us from Carpentersville, Illinois. He is a fiddler and songwriter who has perform with us before with the well-loved Lucky Pickers. He will share his rendition of Paul Robeson's "Old Man River" and John Prine's "Paradise," along with some other favorite folk songs. We'll definitely want to sing along with some of Brandon's songs.

"Wattle and Daub's" authentic acoustic voice is rooted in their passion for the power of the folk music tradition. From Grayslake, Illinois, in the heart of the Midwest, husband and wife singer-songwriters, Tim and Susan Mocarski are dedicated to keeping folk culture alive and kicking through participation, social commentary, and entertainment. They will invite us to sing along to some of their original songs including "If I Were a Tree" as well as covers "Spanish Pipe Dream" a.k.a. "Blow Up Your TV" by John Prine and "The Garden Song" by David Mallett but made familiar by Tom Paxton and John Denver.

Between music sets, we'll be giving out Photo Contest Awards which were chosen by visitors between October 18 - January 9, so come by before then and VOTE!

In addition, there will be Guided Bog Tours all afternoon, as well as some kid's winter-themed crafts upstairs in the Visitor Center. 

Friends of Volo Bog ask for a minimum $10 cover charge for adults and children are FREE! The Friends will also have cookies and cocoa for sale ;-)
