OPENING NIGHT, JUNE 24: CHALKFEST! begins

On Stage:   JESSIE VEEDER
With: Retro Entertainment (Mark Urquhart & Jeremy Gray)
Jessie has been a long-standing favorite and a symbol of folk music in the badlands of Western North Dakota for what seems like forever. She is well know across all of North Dakota and the region. The singer song-writer has recently released a new album “Playing Favorites.” Jessie’s new album pays tribute to those songs and songwriters who influenced her at a young age, celebrating the traditional songs as well as covering music by John Prine, Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, Kathy Mattea, among others.

Retro Entertainment is Mark Urquhart & Jeremy Gray. They perform a wide range of genres but for the Downtown Arts Market we will be doing Maritime Folk Music which includes “Songs from the Sea” as well as Scottish and Irish tunes. We will entertain the crowd with some good toe tapping and hand clapping upbeat songs that will be sure to engage all.
