The Reckless Folk

Bust out the Sharpies - Mark your calendars for Friday, April 17th at Goosetown Station! We’re so excited to get back together and make some music - we’ll have Chuck Rourke pinch-hitting for us on the bass.

Even better, we’re teaming up with The Tennyson Heartstrings (‘Sweet’ Pete Barbaro and Jackson Rohlf) for a big party. We’ll be picking on all sorts of tunes, mixing up the line ups and maybe even have a few more special guests.

In any event, it’s gonna be an event.

Music @ 630-930.

We miss you all so much, can’t wait to make some music 🔥🔥🔥

Friends, Family and everyone that has supported us these last several years….THANK YOU. Friday was everything we could have wished for as a band. We ended it where we played our first official show in April of 2021 and it was also Goosetown Station’s first show. We aren’t even sure how many shows we have played here but it’s been our favorite place and we consider it our second home. Thank you Oksana McCollum and Cheryl Jordan for beginning and supporting our musical journey at Goosetown. We were beyond moved by the attendance on Friday and everyone tearing up and dancing! As we said in our encore we’ll be coming back but we don’t know when and it’s been an incredible journey all around. We are thankful we were able to release our EP “The Worst Is Yet To Come,” through this journey as well. Thanks for everything friends and we will see you down the road somewhere!
