The Jakob’s Ferry Stragglers draw from old-time, bluegrass, rockabilly and swing music to create their high-energy Appalachian bluegrass sound. Gary Antol (guitar/vocals) and Libby Eddy (fiddle/vocals) founded the band in 2014 with a simple goal: write good songs, honor the music and take it to the road. Since then, the band has appeared at festivals and clubs across the country.
Hickory Fest will be held Aug. 16-18 at the Stony Fork Creek Campground, Wellsboro. The Jakob’s Ferry Stragglers are slated to perform there at 9:30 p.m. Aug. 16 and at 8:30 p.m. Aug. 17.
