There will be no pussy-footin here... This is by-god truck driving country! Dale speaks his mind no doubt about it, and if you didn’t catch it he will repeat it fer ya! The Zoo Bar was absolutely packed tonight. My first viewing of Dale and what a treat he is, likes to mix it up with the crowd and he just has a blast doing his thing. Dale got mobbed after the show but I hung around to thank him for the show and purchase a CD and a vinyl 45 RPM, when I caught up with Dale I told him I was glad I had come this night because of the brutal day I had at work... “Bad day” Dale asked? “Monumental” I replied, adding “it will be back tomorrow, but it’s gone tonight” Dale cocked his head a bit and said “ooh I like that, just might hear that in a song” Have at it Dale, public domain baby!

For most shows, a fifteen or twenty dollar per person donation is suggested. ALL proceeds go directly to the perform- ers. We are not a business and do not make any money from our concerts.

FolkHouse is simply a labor of love that gives us great pleasure by opening our home to music lovers and the artists we enjoy. Sorry, we are not wheelchair accessible, this is our private residence (2440 Fontenelle Blvd. in Omaha), but if a person with disabilities would like to attend a concert, we will what we can to accommodate. Since the concerts are actually in our home, seating is limited. Please call or email in advance to reserve a seat. Plus, it gives us an idea of the size of the audience to expect on the night of the show. If you would like to be added to our mailing list or placed on the guest list for an upcoming concert, please call (402)598-7955 or send an email to [email protected]. There is limited parking in our driveway and no parking is allowed on Fontenelle Blvd., but there is parking available on all the surrounding side streets.

Kelly Richey Band Wednesday, August 22nd, The Zoo Bar, 6:00pm Thursday, Aug 23rd-The 21st Saloon, 5:30pm Kelly Richey has been described as “Stevie Ray Vaughan trapped in a woman’s body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out.” That’s an apt appraisal of the Lexington, Kentucky native who’s been based in Cincinnati for many years. Richey has often been compared to such greats as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan because of her ability to capture and entertain an audience with ripping guitar leads that both sing and astonish. Passionate and electrifying, Kelly Richey is a master guitarist. She has been compared to such greats as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt. A professional touring musician for over 30 years, Kelly enjoys playing traditional blues, blues-based rock, indie folk and ambient blues. Infusing the music with her own inimitable style, Kelly is unique and stands among the best guitarists known today. A powerful singer and songwriter as well, Kelly will astonish you with her scorching leads, powerful vocals, and solid, well-honed musical sensibility.
