Artist Adam Hood to perform at Ferdinand Folk Fest Announcement Party/Fundraiser Jan. 28

The Ferdinand Folk Festival organizers will hold the 2012 lineup announcement party and fundraiser on Saturday, January 28, 2012, at Foxy Hollow ([highlight]map below[/highlight]) beginning at 8 p.m. (EST). The featured performer for the evening will be Carnival Recording artist Adam Hood and tickets are $12.

Foxy Hollow is an intimate venue and seating will be limited. Seats can be reserved by contacting Marc Steczyk at 812-367-2282 or by email at msteczyk@ferdinandindiana.org (walk-ups will be welcome, but reserved seating is preferred).

“We had a very enjoyable and successful announcement party last year when Jason Wilber performed for us,” said Steczyk. “Adam Hood is an incredibly talented songwriter, musician, and singer. We’re really looking forward to his performance and getting to announce the rest of the September 15, 2012, Main Stage Folk Festival lineup. This is always an exciting time for us.

“We’ve held a similar event at Foxy Hollow before (a Tri-County YMCA fundraiser) with very much success.  Seats are very limited, however, so I encourage you to contact us as soon as you can to make sure you can get a seat,” Steczyk said.

Hailing from Opelika, Alabama, Hood’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Lee Ann Womack and the Eli Young Band. He is a frequent touring partner of country music sensation Miranda Lambert’s and both of his full length albums have been produced by Grammy-winning and multi-platinum producer Pete Anderson (of Dwight Yoakam fame).

With an Americana, folk, and alt-country sound completely his own, Hood will have another performer with him for rhythm guitar and background vocals. For more information about Adam Hood and to listen to audio and video clips, visit www.adamhood.com.

The third annual Ferdinand Folk Festival will take place on Saturday, September 15, 2012, in Ferdinand’s beautiful 18^th Street Park.  Visit www.ferdinandfolkfestival.com for additional festival information.
