Relax on a the lawn at Shippen Manor for a performance by alt-country twangrass legends Bovine Social Club, presented by the Warren County Cultural & Heritage Commission. Bred on the northern banks of the Delaware River, Bovine Social Club is a grassy, twangy, swinging breed of Americana Alt-Country sounds, sure to get your dancing cow on. The wicked lineup of seasoned jam musicians backing the lyrics of vocalist Samuel Saint Thomas makes Bovine Social Club one of the fastest growing new Americana bands in Metro New York.
BSC grows uncommon songs of loving, lying, waiting, picnicking, gardening, contemplating, and making the days go really slow. Their sound is happily fertilized by country, bluegrass, folk, rock, old time, Celtic and gospel vocabularies. Bovine Social Club gives thinking people happy feet!
Infused with nearly 100 years of combined musical skill and wisdom, Samuel Saint Thomas, Jeff Barg, Ronald Baumann and Tim Coyle along with an ever changing guest list of pickers, mine their experiences of traveling city streets and gravel roads to churches and pubs and concert halls, performing on some of the country’s finest stages with some of the country’s finest talent.
