What is folk music? What is a folk song? What is the folk process? Is it just for old Hippies? Is Bluegrass Folk? Why do so many different kinds of music get called Folk?

Come find the answers to these questions and many more in two hours with the Welter Brothers!

“Is this Machine Still Running?” combines the cultural insight of a history or anthropology class with the excitement of a live performance! Corban and Jackson will use 12 songs to guide the audience through the past 200 years of folk music, each song bringing a new perspective as the image develops.

Whether you are an avid folk listener who wants to dig deeper into the history of the music, or a curious newcomer to the genre looking to get your bearings, this is the show for you!

Seating is limited to ensure an intimate experience. We look forward to sharing this special evening with you.

Set against the backdrop of Wenatchee’s apple orchards, Watercore Cider has become our home away from home. This craft cidery, known for combining the region’s fruit-growing heritage with innovative flavors, has also cultivated a vibrant local arts scene that we’re proud to be a part of.

We have the pleasure of hosting an open mic night on the first and third Thursdays of each month. It’s a special evening where local musicians, poets, and storytellers come together to share their art. The Watercore staff has been incredibly supportive, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere for performers and audience members alike.

But our connection to Watercore doesn’t stop there. Several times throughout the year, we take center stage on weekend evenings as the featured performers. These shows give us the opportunity to really stretch out, sharing a full set of our music with the Watercore crowd.

Whether it’s an open-mic night or one of our featured shows, you might hear us playing anything from traditional English-language folk to our latest originals, all influenced by artists like Stan Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, and The Milk Carton Kids. The intimate setting of the tasting room provides the perfect backdrop for our acoustic blend of guitar, mandolin, and vocal harmonies.

We’re always excited for our nights at Watercore, and we’d be thrilled if you’d join us. Come for an open-mic Thursday to experience the diversity of local talent, or catch one of our weekend shows for a full evening of our music. Either way, you’ll find a supportive crowd, excellent cider, and a genuine slice of Wenatchee’s arts scene.

So keep an eye on Watercore’s event calendar and our own schedule. Whether you’re coming to perform, listen, or just enjoy some great cider with live music, we’d love to see you there. It’s more than just a show—it’s a chance to be part of a community as rich and flavorful as the ciders they produce!
