SOLD OUT House of Hamill—Saturday, April 20, 2024— https://www.houseofhamill.com/ —7:00 PM = NEW showtime!

Maple Street Concerts exuberantly welcomes HOUSE OF HAMILL for their debut performance with us. Lilli Kuzma, radio host of WDCB's Folk Festival Radio Show, will be our guest emcee.

Whether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels, adding lush three-part harmonies into upcycled folk ballads, or cracking up a crowd with stories from the road, HOUSE OF HAMILL puts on a show that captivates audiences from the very first note. This Pennsylvania-based trio is a fixture on festival stages across the US, and has shared their music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their version of “Pound a Week Rise” rose to #1 on the US Folk DJ charts, and the video for their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 16 million views on Facebook, where it was shared over 400,000 times. Their latest release, “Folk Hero,” captures perfectly the frenetic energy and eclecticism of their always engaging live show. A lively collection of original instrumentals, reimagined folk ballads, and new songs that showcase the trio’s versatility, “Folk Hero” is the third House of Hamill album to be fully fan-funded.

Edie Carey with special guest Gia Dagenhart— Saturday, March 23, 2024— https://ediecarey.com/ —7:00 PM = NEW showtime!

Maple Street Concerts warmly welcomes Colorado-based singer-songwriter EDIE CAREY, who is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on—and off—stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend. Edie has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada, and Europe since 1999. She has performed alongside Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile, and Shawn Mullins, and was a featured vocalist on the Grammy-winning Ensemble Album, “All the Ladies” in 2020. Edie is a Kerrville New Folk Contest winner (2012), and her eleventh album, “The Veil,” was released in June 2022.

In honor of our 40th year, Lombard local Gia Dagenhart, a budding songwriter with an impressive voice, will perform an opening set. Gia is a music student at Lawrence University (Appleton, Wisconsin) and is the daughter of Maple Street Concerts' founder, the late Bryan Dagenhart, and our current Concert Presenter, Melissa.

Tickets are $20 (online ticket purchase includes a $1.25 processing fee = $21.25). Tickets may also be purchased at the door with cash or check only, pending availability. All sales are final. (Showtime is 7:00 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM.)

Stone & Snow— Saturday, February 10, 2024— https://www.stoneandsnow.com/ —7:00 PM = NEW showtime!

Named “Best Folk/Soul Artist” at the 2022 Richmond International Film + Music Festival, STONE & SNOW is an Americana pairing of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Karen Bridges and Clint Thomson. In 2012, they began a collaboration filled with close harmonies and thoughtful lyrics and gave it a name that gives a nod to the mountain landscapes of the West. Both are passionate about elevating women in music. Through hosting performances for women artists, their work collecting data on the gender balance in their local scene, and Karen’s involvement in the “Girls Rock!” franchise, Stone & Snow is invested in seeing more women grow and thrive in the music industry.

Stone & Snow has self-produced and released five studio albums to date: "Delicate and Wild" (2023), "We Were Made For These Times" (2021), "Love is a Weapon" (2019), "Devil That I Know" (2016), and "These are the Hills" (2014). They were named a top entry in the 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest for their song “Cruel.” Making their debut performance at Maple Street Concerts, they recently relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio, from Bloomington-Normal, IL.

SOLD OUT Special Consensus— Sunday, January 7, 2024 — https://www.specialc.com/ We recommend getting tickets in advance as this group often sells out in advance. Our favorite way to start the New Year is with Special Consensus and their smokin' bluegrass! We welcome Special C back for their 18th show at Maple Street Concerts. Special Consensus’ sound is grounded in a deep appreciation and understanding of bluegrass music; the infectious band sound reminds people of the past while utilizing the innovations of today. With the foundation of Greg Cahill's unique banjo playing style, Greg Blake (guitar), Dan Eubanks (bass) and Michael Prewitt (mandolin) effortlessly support each other and consistently maintain their bluegrass center whether they’re playing a jazz-tinged instrumental or a song from any of their award-winning recordings. These four talented vocalists and instrumentalists follow their creative desires without straying too far from their roots.

Tickets are $25 (online ticket purchase includes a $1.40 processing fee = $26.40). Tickets may also be purchased at the door with cash or check only, pending availability. All sales are final. (Showtime is 3:00 PM. Doors open at 2:30 PM.)

Part of the Village of Lombard's JingleBell Jubilee event, we invite all to come enjoy our annual sing-along. We supply the lyric books and song leaders; you supply your voices. This year the duo KILTY PLEASURE will be leading the songs. Donations are appreciated to support the upkeep of the historic Maple Street Chapel.
