Billy Strings & Don Julin Strings is 21 years old, but he comes fully formed. He can flat-pick guitar with the best anywhere, and he sings as if he has lived every word. Julin wrote the book on mandolin playing — literally. He’s the author of the best-selling “Mandolin For Dummies.” Together, Strings and Julin put together a sound that’s textbook awesome. Newly signed with CROSSOVER TOURING from Atlanta, GA, now may be your last chance to see these two before they hit the big time.

Lake Leelanau Rowing Club presents… Eric TaylorEric Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. If you’re not familiar with Taylor by name, you’ve probably heard his songs performed by people such as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett.“He’s the real deal. Eric Taylor was one of my heroes and teachers when I started playing around Houston in the early 1970s.”
Steve Earle“I’m always the opening act when I’m around Eric. I love his voice, and he has a great narrative quality and sense of detail. He sort of takes you out of your own reality and into the reality of his songs. It’s good writing no matter how you cut it.” Lyle LovettMonday Evening August 4th Showtime: 8pm$20 Adv $25 Door

Fountain Point Presents… Red, White & Bluegrass at The Point! The RFD Boys have been delighting Ann Arbor audiences since 1969. With songs recorded by the likes of the Country Gentlemen, and with performances alongside blue- grass greats like Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley, the RFD Boys are a part of America’s bluegrass tradition.

They understand the roots of the music, and know how to have a great time playing it From Pretzel Bell to The Ark, in 40 years their popularity has never waned. Plus, they’re just darn nice guys.” -Marianne James, Executive Director, The Ark, Ann Arbor After the show…an artist afterglow… Wine & Cheese Reception THURSDAY, JULY 3RD, 2014 | 8:00 pm FOUNTAIN POINT RESORT SUMMER CONCERT SERIES 990 South Lake Leelanau Dr | Lake Leelanau, MI
