Original Singer/Songwriter Folk Music
Concert Calendar 14th Season
Our small, intimate, smoke-free and alcohol-free
"Coffeehouse" music room is host to
singer/songwriters from all over the country
who stop in Edom to entertain with their original
music. With concerts approximately once each
month, most of the money collected for ticket
sales will go to the artist. Coffee, Soft Drinks,
and Desserts are available before and during
the concerts.
ADMISSION POLICY:
Since our room is relatively small (around 50-70
seats), we strongly recommend purchasing
your tickets in advance to insure seating.
If you purchase in advance, you will be on the
"Early Entry List" and be the first
to enter the music room! Admission prices are
indicated for each concert. Advance ticket purchases
can be made up to the day before the concert
using the BUY NOW button or by calling 903-852-2781
to arrange payment by check or by credit card.
Checks must be received no later than 2 days
prior to the concert (along with contact info
in the event the concert is already sold out).
Credit Card payments will incur a service fee
(amount indicated in each concert description)
to cover the cost of processing and any other
fees (so that performers will still get the
full admission). PLEASE NOTE that we are NOT
a non-profit organization so any donations are
NOT tax-deductible. In order to maintain a quiet
listening environment, we ask that members of
our audience please be over 13 years of age
unless otherwise indicated.
The Old Firehouse is a "labor
of love" brought to you by Jeff & the
late Judy Gottesman. While we are not a "not
for profit" organization, we still need
to make a small profit in order to cover our
expenses. Please consider making a donation
to enable us to continue bringing the music
we all love to Edom. Donations are NOT tax-deductible,
but sure help us make ends meet. Thanks.....Jeff
Thanks to everyone who supported
our 13th season by attending one of our concerts.
The 14th season is coming along as you can see below,
so stay tuned and subscribe to our email list (below)
to be the first to know.

This
Concert Sponsored By Marshall & Penny Endsley
Jennings & Keller is an award-winning
nationally touring duo based out of Florida. They
offer up 21st Century Americana with influences
in folk, jazz, and roots music. They fuse many
different musical elements into a unique eclectic
style that is refreshingly diverse.
Dana Keller, a veteran pedal steel, dobro, and
guitar player, has spent years performing on stage
or in the studio with such luminaries as Vince
Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Stevie Wonder, Larry Graham,
Marvin Gaye, Dave Mason, Johnny Rodriguez and
The Allen Brothers, to name a few.
Laurie Jennings Oudin is a former Shakespearean
actress who has spent many years on the stage.
Her theater background combined with a lifetime
of professional singing gives her an obvious command
of the stage as well as the songs she sings. With
a vocal style that ranges from early Joni Mitchell
to Emmylou Harris, Laurie leaves audiences mesmerized
by her stunning vocal delivery.
In the 16 years of playing together, Jennings
& Keller have released four CDs. They have
received accolades and airplay from radio stations
at one end of the country to the other.

You
know them all because they've been here before.
Now they are helping to keep The Old Firehouse
alive with this fundraising concert!
Randy Lewis Brown
Randy
is certainly one of our local favorites....he's
been here several times before, Brown has been
a repeat winner of songwriting awards over more
than two decades: including the New Traditions
Award (2007), TIME Songwriting Competition (2009),
Poor David’s BW Stevenson Songwriter Contest
(2014), FTR Willows by Water (2017), South Florida
Folk Festival (2018), and he was the regional
finalist at Kerrville in 1995 and 2009.
The lyrics in Randy's
songs show off not only his cleverness, but
also his quick wit, intelligence, and sometimes
how twisted he really is.
Adler &
Hearne
From Texas'
upper east side near the arts hamlet of Winnsboro,
award-winning singer-songwriters Lynn Adler
and Lindy Hearne connect with audiences coast
to coast. Honored to be selected by the Texas

Dave Sherman sings about real
life experiences - family, faith, work, winning
the Publisher's Clearing House and Duct Tape!
Dave walks his audiences through a lifetime
of creative writing. He escorts his audiences
from Mayberry to see Andy and Barney, to Alaska
to witness the Gold Rush and to a hospital corridor
to hear a baby girl being born.
Neal Katz
Neal is a folk musician, and he
performs his music at coffee-houses, folk festivals,
living room concerts, and more. Over the years,
Neal has been an opening act for a number of

Natalie Price (www.natpricemusic.com) This
Concert Sponsored By Steve Howard & Helen
Mar Parkin
Raised on gospel tunes, musicals
and Britpop, Natalie Price’s style is eclectic
- an Ameri-“kinda” mix of pop, folk,
and little twist of country. Hailing from Austin,
Texas, Price’s catchy melodies and smooth,
clear voice will draw you in as she weaves stories
of heartache, longing and joy. On the heels of
releasing her self-titled album in 2023, Natalie
is set to release an EP in 2024 called “Mixtape
Vol. 1,” featuring six tunes of empowerment,
friendship and love.
