Award-winning musician coming April 7

Potter County Creative Council (PC3) presents a live performance by award-winning musician Hubby Jenkins at 7 pm on Monday, April 7, in the lodge at Denton Hill State Park. Local musicians Anne Acker and Mike Aucott will open Monday’s show with a casual set at 6 pm.

Jenkins will first appear for a matinee at Northern Potter School as part of PC3’s ongoing mission to expose students to professional musicians and artisans.

As part of its commitment to Potter County agriculture, PC3 has arranged for food vendors Fiammata Pizza and Frosty Hollow Bed and Breakfast to be set up, offering menu items with locally produced ingredients such as gourmet mushrooms, micro-greens, cheeses and meats.

A talented singer and multi-instrumentalist, Jenkins revels in sharing his love and knowledge of old-time American music. He has followed the thread of African American history through its traditional music forms and now shares it during dynamic solo performances and engaging workshops.

Whether accompanied by banjo or steel-string guitar, each selection is introduced with narrative that wends its way through country blues, ragtime, Americana and traditional jazz. Jenkins has performed around the world, earning himself both Grammy and Americana award nominations. He is no stranger to Potter County, having appeared at Austin Dam Show in 2011.

Anne Acker, a blues singer at heart, has found a home within the folk and singer/songwriter community as well. She has been a member of several bands, including Quackgrass, Burning Tractor and the BluJayz.

Mike Aucott has played clawhammer banjo for more than 50 years. He focuses mostly on traditional old-time music and often performs at farm markets and social gatherings.

Admission fee is $15 for adults, or two for $20; and $5.00 for students. Entry is free for anyone 12 and under.

Potter County Creative Council is a registered non-profit civic organization created in 2023 with support from the Potter County Commissioners and Pa. Council on the Arts.

PC3 expresses its appreciation to DentonGo LLC for use of the venue and to the Pa. Council on the Arts for financial and technical support.
