Clear-eyed and tough-minded, songwriter/playwright Katie Dahl is known for her smart songs, wry wit, and wise spirit. A small-town celebrity on the Wisconsin peninsula, Katie is also an internationally touring, radio-charting artist who “delivers razor-sharp lyrics with a hearty, soulful voice” (American Songwriter).
In live shows that are both courageously honest and devilishly funny, Katie dives deep into questions of land and love, family and body image, grief and joy. “In unsettled times,” says Peter Mulvey, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit.”
Opening for Katie will be MICAH JOHN. She is returning to Harmony on the Green after delighting folks last spring when she joined Antje Duvekot. Micah is a Boston-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and singer-songwriter. She plays American Roots Music of several types. Her range includes Old Time songs and tunes, Bluegrass, Folk, Country, and Americana.
An award winning fiddler, Micah has won many fiddle competitions. She has been fortunate to study fiddle with several amazing teachers, including Bronwyn, Bobby Britt, and Bruce Molsky. A graduate of Berklee City Music High School, Micah also plays and studies guitar, and can contribute to a song on mandolin, bass, and clawhammer banjo as well.
