Since making their acclaimed debut with 2013’s Dark Holler Pop, North Carolina-bred four-piece Mipso have captivated audiences with their finely layered vocal harmonies, graceful fluency in the timeless musical traditions of their home state, and a near-telepathic musical connection that makes their live show especially kinetic. On their self-titled sixth album and Rounder Records debut, fiddle player Libby Rodenbough, mandolinist Jacob Sharp, guitarist Joseph Terrell, and bassist Wood Robinson share their most sonically adventurous and lyrically rich work to date, each moment charged with the tension between textural effervescence and an underlying despair about the modern world.
All patrons must show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 with photo ID. Or Proof of a negative lab-conducted COVID-19 test taken and dated within 72 hours of the performance with photo ID. Minors 12-17 may show proof of vaccination or negative test without ID.

Americana music at its best - this is what you can expect at this two-for concert featuring avant-garde troubadour duo Blue Cactus, made up of Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez, and on-the-rise singer-songwriter Shay Martin Lovette. Both acts bring a fresh indie-folk sound to a genre that is starting to embrace artists with a bit of pluckiness. Likewise, both are riding high off of lauded 2021 album releases - Blue Cactus’s Stranger Again and Lovette’s Scatter & Gather. These albums consist of heartfelt original songs that explore topics of self-discovery and acceptance, and shine light upon the universality of the human experience. Blue Cactus’s dive into Cosmic American music has earned them critical acclaim from notable music trendspotters, while Lovette’s song “For Rose Marie†earned him a first place spot in the 2021 Chris T. Austin Songwriting Competition at Merlefest. While these acts offer music that is still firmly in the wheelhouse of what Jones House regulars know and love, they also have a fresh cutting-edge style that broader audiences will appreciate. This concert will fill up fast, so be sure to reserve your seat early!
