Brownville Concert Series presents The Cody Sisters

The Brownville Concert Series is thrilled to welcome The Cody Sisters to Brownville. The Cody Sisters band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic Folk and Bluegrass music in Colorado, the United States, and the UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with their bass player Will Pavilonis, sisters Megan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Maddie (guitar, banjo, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today. It’s sure to be one you won’t want to miss! The shows will be in cabaret on Friday & Saturday, September 5th & 6th at 7:30pm, and in concert on Sunday, September 7th at 2:00pm. We give special thanks to Rick & Alexandra McMullen and Dr’s David & Nicole Kaufman for helping to sponsor these shows.
