The Weaverville Library Friends are always organizing interesting events for the town's library. In August, they are hosting Farmer Jason, an event that should appeal to both old and young alike.
Farmer Jason, also known as Jason Ringerberg, headed up Jason and the Scorchers, a country/rock/punk hybrid that turned the Nashville music scene on its head in the 1980s. They've since disbanded and reunited for a smattering of gigs here and there, but during his downtime, Ringerberg began recording and touring as Farmer Jason, singing extremely catchy children-oriented ditties about farms, animals, nature and such.
On a side, I saw him perform in 2006 during the all-too-brief existence of the Mucklewain concert festival that brought some of the top acts in country/rock music to Middle Tennessee. His performance was a highlight of the day, and I can only imagine it will be even better indoors in an intimate space.
Farmer Jason will be at the library at 11 am on Aug. 27.
