Music at the Furnace

The music portion of the program starts off at 5 pm with singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Christ from Phoenixville, PA. Elliott has performed at numerous venues as a solo artist, as well as with the New York-based bands — The Pony Express and The Big Hat. His eclectic style is influenced by artists like Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and others in between.

Then at 7 pm our featured act “Second Breakfast “ takes center stage at Joanna Furnace. Second Breakfast is an acoustic duo from the Lancaster, PA area. The group consists of Jackson and Luke, Lord of the Ring fans, who perform songs from 60’s and 70’s Americana, Folk music, and covers bands such as The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and more! Jackson and Luke both possess a BS degree in American History which contributes to their lyrics that tell stories of the past, present, and future. This group will perform from 7 to 9 pm on the Joanna Furnace stage.
