The Ingersolls are a husband-and-wife acoustic duo steeped in Americana, folk, and bluegrass traditions. With Liz’s soulful, high-lonesome fiddle leading the way and Jeff’s tasteful, driving guitar work anchoring the groove, their music blends old-time authenticity with heartfelt storytelling. Their close harmonies, tight interplay, and easy onstage chemistry create an intimate sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal—music born from shared lives, shared miles, and a shared love of roots music.

Husband and wife duo Liz "Fiddle" Ingersoll and Jeff Ingersoll bring Americana, folk, and bluegrass to life with fiery fiddle, rich acoustic guitar, and close harmonies. Rooted in tradition and powered by connection, their sound is warm, honest, and unmistakably homegrown.

An Evening with Ordinary Elephant
Mesmerizing folk duo, Ordinary Elephant, has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that's earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier.
In 2017, the pair took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album, "Before I Go", and two years later, they returned with the similarly lauded "Honest", which the Associated Press hailed as "one of the best Americana albums of the year." Their recent release, Ordinary Elephant, was nominated by Folk Alliance International for 2024 IFMA Album of the Year and the 2025 Artist of the Year. This record is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances are similarly transportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin. At this live performance you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment, of patience and gratitude, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment.
Their movie, Across the Quiet, a film from Ordinary Elephant, won the Best Louisiana Film award at the 2025 Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival. https://www.patreon.com/ordinaryelephant/posts/across-quiet-122143183.
Tom Paxton: "There is nothing at all ordinary with this elephant. They are smack dab in the tradition that I have always loved but have both (all four?) feet in the 21st Century. This is rich ground. Listen!"
Mary Gauthier “Two become one, in song...hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery. Songs are pouring out of them, and I suspect their rise will be steady."

ABOUT THE NIGHT EAGLE: The Night Eagle Cafe flies again! It’s been 16 years since doors opened to this venue’s storied history in Central New York where over 125 shows per year were presented from 1996 to 2008. The Night Eagle is back, again presented by Ken Millett plus co-director Susan Murphy, with a growing 2026-2027 season in its new home at the Savage Club and the Lansing Area Performance Hall, and in other area venues.

The American Guild of Organists, Binghamton Chapter invites you to an Anniversary Memorial Organ Recital commemorating Dr. Jonathan Biggers on Saturday, September 19, 4 pm at The United Presbyterian Church, 42 Chenango Street, Binghamton.

Dr. Biggers was an internationally acclaimed, award winning organist who arrived at Binghamton University in 1991 as the Edwin Link Endowed Professor of Organ and Harpsichord. While still maintaining a concert career, Jonathan taught for 25 years until his sudden early death in 2016. His legacy lives on through his former students, seven of whom will be performing in the recital.

It is free and open to the public! Please join us and hear firsthand the magnificent instrument that Dr. Biggers helped design!

Buffalo-based Davey O has supported many top-tier artists throughout his career, and performed at some of the most prestigious listening rooms and concert clubs in the U.S. (including Caffe Lena, Godfrey Daniels, Cafe Veritas and Passim). He was a 2013 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting Finalist and a 2015 Mid Atlantic Song Contest Finalist, and has had several of his releases included among the “best of” lists on Folk and Roots Radio. He has lots of lovely melodies and tells a compelling story, and counts songwriters such as Patty Griffin, John Hiatt, Ryan Adams and Gillian Welch among his influences.

Pennsylvania-based House of Hamill is a fixture on festival stages across the US, and have shared their
music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their original song “Banks of the Brandywine”
was a Grand Prize winner in the 2024 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. The video for their all-violin
cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 16 million views on Facebook where it was shared over
400,000 times.
The band's newest release, Wildfire, marks House of Hamill's most compelling work to date. Featuring
their strongest and most exciting songwriting, Wildfire is filled with lyrical depth, sophisticated vocal and
instrumental arrangements and hooks that are simply irresistible. This album captures the vibrant
energy and creativity that have become the hallmarks of a House of Hamill live show.
Whether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels, adding lush three-part harmonies into
traditional folk ballads or cracking up an audience with stories from the road, House of Hamill puts on a
show that captivates audiences from the very first note
