12th Annual Rush River Folk Festival!

Vino in the Valley's 12th Annual Rush River Folk Festival is taking place on Saturday, August 30th from 1pm - 9pm.

The event features over six hours of live music from top regional artists, and admission is free! With the beautiful valley views as their backdrop, musicians offering a grand mix of sounds and styles of folk music serenade our guests all day long while they enjoy wine, beer, and our Italian fare (our pavilion will open starting at noon this day).

Wagon rides around the vineyard and lawn games pass the time between music sets. As the sun falls behind the bluffs and the cooler evening temps roll in, roaring bonfires take the chill off the air.

Guests are invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs. What a perfect way to take advantage of our scenic outdoor venue!

This year's artists are:

• Andy Hanson (1–2:30 p.m.): For artistic inspiration, Andy draws from a diverse range of influences, blending the timeless artistry of folk legends from the 1960s with the fresh perspectives of contemporary songwriters.
• Little Wing (3-4:30 p.m.): Little Wing features the virtuosity and versatility of Faith Ulwelling, with a vocal style that channels 60s soul, Delta blues, and other roots music classics.
• Matt Yetter (5-6:30 p.m.): Yetter is the real deal: an old-school, slide guitar playing, harmonica-tooting country blues artist who characterizes music as “a way of making a connection to everybody all at once.”
• Davey J and Duffy (8:30 p.m.): Davey J (David Jones) is a well-loved performer, playing on stages large and small for more than 30 years in the Upper Midwest. Duffy Duyfhuizen was born and raised in New York City and came to Eau Claire in 1984 by way of Tulsa, Okla. His musical influences include urban folk and country folk.
