July 29 - On Stage at the Richmond Farmers' Market from 5:00 to 6:00, let's welcome Folk By Association. After over ten years of performing, Karen Krajacic and Jill Cowen have certainly traveled a long and interesting road together. They've now played hundreds of shows in 26 states, gaining a reputation for both their top-notch vocal harmonies and their grassroots approach to working as independent artists. With intricate harmonies at the forefront, Folk By Association embraces elements of folk, roots, bluegrass, jazz, and world music, weaving these eclectic traditions together in a unique, contemporary way. The duo uses
multiple acoustic instruments, switching off between the guitar and mandolin, throwing in a banjo here, a toy xylophone there. Said to be both nostalgic and modern, soothing and energizing, Folk By Association is both a throwback and a surprise.

The Market is open every Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Volunteers Green in Richmond.
