Harmony Hill's Event List

We are pleased to welcome Mark Hundley, a regular entertainer at many eastern Cincinnati hotspots. Mark's unique style and solo guitar skills add depth to the classic rock standards of the last half of the 20th century.

With only one acoustic show scheduled on 'The Hill' this summer, Patti and I are jazzed about Micheall Reed and John Duncan performing this Friday. They specialize in true classic acoustic hits, mostly from the 1960’s and 70’s. The duo has performed acoustic shows around Greater Cincinnati for over four years. They feature some of the best acoustic music that ranges from the Beatles, to James Taylor, and many hit songs seldom heard. Every number they perform is an easily recognized hit, so singing along is not a problem. Should be a great night. http://www.micheallreed.com/music.php

Rusty Hooks: Bryon Cox, Bill Robinson, Marty Frankenhoff, Rick Andrews, and Friends.
Bryon began singing, and playing drums in church. He is preparing to record his second CD. He has performed at Writers Nights in Cincinnati and Nashville. His songs tell the stories of life, love, and love lost.
Bill was born and raised in Cincinnati and has been playing and singing since the 70's He has also played in several bands in the Cincinnati area.
Marty has been singing and playing keyboards most of his life. He played the hotel entertainment circuit in the 80's.

The day will end with a drawing for a basket of alpaca products (winner does not have to be present at the time of the drawing)

Harmony Hill Vineyards is pleased to welcome Scott Dawson. Scott is a singer/songwriter from Loveland who has written and recorded a myriad of songs and lyrics. He is an accomplished keyboard and acoustic guitar musician whose most recent accomplishments include the release of "Dedicated Man", a compilation of 13 original songs on CD that have enjoyed modest international airplay and sales.

Scott will perform every song he has ever written, plus covers from artists such as Croce, Lightfoot, Taylor, Chapin, Beatles, Presley, Everly Brothers and many others. If you enjoy the music of the 50s through 80s, this is an evening you don't want to miss.

Andy Wagner is one of Cincinnati's premier musicians. Not only an excellent mandolinist, Andy plays one heck of a guitar and his 70s folk/rock/country is sure to please all.

Wow. This is a first for 'The Hill'. Not only do we have two bands sharing the same gig, but the guys are brothers, whose musical passions are polar opposites. Shane Smith is a country music singer/songwriter with 15 years experience and influences like Chesney and Strait. Shane's brother Chad is lead singer and lead guitarist along with Michael Chandler in a rock band called Straight Jacket Fashion, with influences like Matchbox 20 and Allison Chains. Should be a fun, musically diverse gig.

We are pleased to welcome back all of our 2 legged and 4 legged friends from Labrador Retreiver Rescue of Cincinnati. LRRoC's last adopt-a-pet event on 'The Hill' was both successful and enjoyable for all who participated. All former LRRoC adoptees and fosters are welcome to share their success stories and re-unite with old friends. Check their website for adoptable friends before the event and maybe arrangements can be made to preview the pooch at the winery. more info

Harmony Hill is pleased to welcome "Signal Hill". The acoustic trio of Gus, Rob, and Tom have been playing primarily private parties. Their range of covers include Beatles, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and folk rock. Gus(acoustic guitar and vocals) has played the Florida Keys to Northern Ohio. Rob(acoustic guitar and vocals) is returning from a stint with the Hutson Family Band. Tom (bass and acoustic guitar) has been playing the Cincinnati area for several years. Sure to be a great evening.

Tom is a skilled guitarist, vocalist and instrumentalist who has been the opening act for such notables as Bruce Springsteen, Leon Redbone, Ricky Scaggs, Tim Allen and Bill Cosby. His one-man band combines that musical skill with his stylish original humor. His unique blend of ad-libs, one-liners, and improv humor have made him a favorite with audiences throughout the tri-state. His songs have been played on The Bob and Tom morning show, The Dr. Demento Show, as well as numerous radio stations throughout the mid-west. We are very excited to have Tom with us to close the 2009 season out. We're sure you'll enjoy this evening. http://www.tomcool.net/

Formed in the summer of 1990, Meridian is the Cincinnati based acoustic duo of Chris Henry and Karen Dietrich. Playing covers and originals, they are mainly influenced by the acoustic rock sound of the 70's. Describing their sound as eclectic-acoustic folk rock, or Folk-n-Roll, they have performed regionally in various venues including bars, coffeehouses, wineries and festivals. Meridian is currently working on their first full-length CD.

Tired of listening to cover music? Yearning for some original stuff? Then Harmony Hill is the place to be, as this talented collection of songwriters has written for some of the most popular groups in Country Music. Enjoy the day relaxing with some of the best lyricists in the music industry. http://www.nashvillesongwriters.com/

Harmony Hill is pleased to welcome back Cincinnati's best known Veterinarian and musician, "Doc" Dan Meakin for an evening of solo performance. Dan's style coupled with 60s-90s favorites are sure to please all. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated, benefiting "Friends of Noah" Stray Adoption Program at AllCreatures Animal Hospital. more info

Unbelievable..the result of another open mic session on The Hill. Patti and I are jazzed about having Kelly help close the season for us. Having grown up in Georgetown, Kelly has been singing with her family in front of crowds since she was old enough to stand. She blew us away last summer when singing as a stand-in for another performer. Now she stages like she has been singing professionally for years. With influences like Patti Griffin, Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell, this singer/songwriter's bluesey folk/rock style will blow you away as well.

Back by popular demand, "Anna and Milovan" is a father/daughter duo that plays in the Greater Cincinnati area. With influences such as Jewel, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, and acoustic blues players, Anna and her father have created an interesting acoustic pop/folk/blues sound. They have performed at venues such as Leo Coffeehouse, College Hill Coffee, Showcase Cinemas, Borders Books, Henke Wine, Front Porch, Dilly Deli, Cactus Pear, Harmony Hill Vineyards, The Blind Lemon, Parkers Blue Ash Grill, Arnold's, Chez Nora and Rooftop Jazz Club.
