Dallas will perform solo due to unexpected schedule changes for Molly.

Dallas Jones and Molly Healey have been playing music together for more than 20 years. Having both recorded multiple albums of original music, they also provide a wide range of cover songs including the Beatles, Sam Cooke, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan and Tina Turner. This dynamic duo will get your toes tappin’ with their acoustic rhythms and soulful harmonies, while Molly’s lead playing on multiple stringed instruments will leave you mesmerized.

Dallas recently served as Springfield’s musical ambassador in our Japanese sister city, and Molly was selected for the opportunity this September!

Aaron Mayer’s specialty is writing songs that sound great with a band but can also be played solo. His music does not fit a specific category. It could be called Americana, but there are several influences including blues, rock, country and more. The common theme is that every song has emotional, soulful vocals with a grooving rhythm behind it.
