This barn may look quiet and serene now, but it will be boot stompin' on Friday, July 16, 2021, as Nashville comes to Dolgeville, NY and first responders and those on the front lines, get into this show absolutely free by showing a valid work ID.
Join Rustic Ties LLC on Friday as they welcome local favorites Whiskey Creek and Nashville recording artist Jake Dodds for a night of great country music. Jake Dodds recently shared a video on TikTok singing his song “She Goes To Work,” honoring all the women working on the front lines during the Covid-19 pandemic. Little did he know the video would go viral in record time, racking up 1.2 million views.
Jake Dodds told the Wildhorse Saloon that he grew up listening to country music, like the Grand Ole Opry, and watching the Statler Brothers Show on TNN with his grandparents every Saturday night.
In the 90's, he got hooked on Garth Brooks TV specials and listening to Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and Tracy Byrd on country radio. Later discovering Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney, "who helped a shy kid through those awkward teenage years of girls, football practice, and mowing lawns."
Karaoke led Jake to start a band in 2013. He's been on the road ever since releasing new original music and building a career of his own.
Opening for Jake Dodds is Whiskey Creek. You may remember seeing them on the FrogFest 30 Stage With Stephanie Quale and LoCash.
Whiskey Creek
Whiskey Creek
Whiskey Creek is a modern country music band from Central New York founded in 2016 by Chad (bass) and Bryan (lead guitar/vocals). With the addition of Steve (drums 2017) and Eric (lead vocals/guitar 2019), Whiskey Creek provides a high-energy country rock show.
We play several venues ranging from Albany to Syracuse and are proudly Frog Fest Alumni! We opened for Sam Grow at Rustic Ties in May. As a band, we pride ourselves on playing country songs from the 2000-the 2010s that have a great drive to them. We mix in a few older classic country songs and some classic rock medleys too!
Don't miss out on live entertainment. We've gone without it for so long. We've got to grab it when we can. See you there.

Northern Lights In Old Forge
It's not really common to see northern lights in Central New York, but photographer Kurt Gardner captured the beautiful conformation of them near Old Forge. We're usually too far south of the North Pole, but sometimes we get lucky.
Auroras are caused by the Sun. The Sun is not only hot and bright, but it's also full of energy and small particles that fall toward Earth. NASA says the protective magnetic field around Earth shields us from most of the energy and particles, and we don't even notice them.
The amount of energy the Sun sends, depends on the streaming solar wind and solar storms. During one kind of solar storm called a coronal mass ejection, the Sun expels a huge bubble of electrified gas that can travel through space at high speeds.
When a solar storm comes toward us, some of the energy and small particles can travel down the magnetic field lines at the north and south poles into Earth's atmosphere. There, the particles interact with gases in our atmosphere resulting in beautiful displays of light in the sky. Oxygen gives off green and red light. Nitrogen glows blue and purple. [NASA]
