Bill Staines has played numerous times at the Indy Folk Series, and is among our most requested performers. For more than forty years, he has traveled back and forth across North America, singing his songs and delighting audiences at festivals, folksong societies, colleges, concerts, clubs, and coffeehouses. His music is a slice of Americana, reflecting with the same ease his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventurers of the Yukon, the on-the-road truckers, or the everyday workers that make up this land.

Staines weaves a blend of gentle wit and humor into his performances and one reviewer wrote, “He has a sense of timing to match the best standup comic.”

The Indy Folk Series is an all-ages listening room venue featuring superb acoustics, art on the walls, and candles on the tables. Each season brings the best of local, regional, and national touring artists and a wide array of acoustic music genres, including Americana, Roots, Bluegrass, Singer-Songwriters, and more. Concerts are held once a month on Saturday evenings, September – May. Light refreshments, including wine and beer, available prior to the concert and during intermission.
