Mick Byrd at the Riverfront Cultural Society, New Haven, MO, 8pm to Late $7

Mick Byrd is an acoustic singer songwriter who also plays with a band "Bonus Track" in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas. He has recorded 6 CD albums and performs at wineries, fairs, festivals, and colleges as well as coffee houses and the occasional bar gig. Byrd describes his music as "Americana Roots music". His new CD has some crossover country, some blatantly obnoxious country songs just for fun, tasteful blues cuts, folk-rock and a smattering of bluegrass. He plays a lot of rock 'n' roll chord structures in a non-rock 'n' roll format. His seriously crafted songs are a testament to his observations and are often slice-of-life short stories.

Folkways and Skills of the early Germans in Missouri.  Now the hills outside of Marthasville literally "come alive" with the sights and sounds of the 1800's.  The early German immigrant's functional lifestyle is authentically recreated as juried artisans, in period attire, demonstrate German kloppolei, basket weaving, black smithing, chair caning, candle dipping, fractur, salt glazed pottery - just a sample of the eighty-five life skills illustrating our ancestors' lives and trades. Period music, whistling steam, wood smoke and the sweet fragrance of sorghum-cooking fills the crisp, autumn air.  While watching elite artisans, you can savor German home cooking and try your hand at crosscut sawing.  An antique sorghum press driven by Missouri mules and steam-powered sawmill complete the historic walk into Missouri's yesteryears.  Twenty-three diverse period structures and log cabins now dot the farm, along with the "Eric Sloan Covered Bridge" thanks to the Bob Hostkoetter family and friends. Advance tickets available at a savings. For more information call 636 433 5669 or www.deutschcountrydays.org
