New Balance and The Wooks Saturday June 23.
Since its inception in 2003, Bluegrass on the Square has featured some of the most well-known Bluegrass musicians in the region. Now in its 15th year, the tradition continues with performers Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass, Hog Operation, Ida Clare, New Balance, No Tools Loaned, and The Wooks. All concerts are free and open to the public.

Corydon’s picturesque historic town square is the perfect setting to sprawl out on the lawn, so consider bringing lawn chairs and blankets. Dine and shop at our unique local businesses.

New Balance is a four-piece bluegrass and gospel band from southeastern Indiana that combines strong vocals and harmonies with top-notch musical talents by all members. The band was formed by Zion Napier (mandolin) and his younger brother Caleb Smith (banjo) in 2010 and has grown to include Matthew Phelps (guitar) and Garrett Smith (bass). Their self-titled record was released through Truegrass Entertainment.

With threads of singer-songwriter, rock, and jam band music woven throughout, The Wooks are as at home on a festival stage as they are in a barn in the heart of Kentucky’s horse country. The Wooks are Aaron Bibelhauser (banjo), CJ Cain (lead guitar), Arthur Hancock (guitar), and Roddy Puckett (bass). Inspired by legends and trailblazers like Crowe, Whitley, Simpson, Bush, Stapleton, The Wooks translate the sights and sounds of the people, hills, bars, roads, and creeks around them into music. With both respect for their heritage and innovative originality, The Wooks are a natural evolution of a sound that has always been there. Since their inception in 2014, The Wooks won the prestigious 2016 RockyGrass Band Competition, placed in the finals for the 2017 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, and were a 2017 International Bluegrass Music Association Momentum Award Nominee. Their first record, Little Circles, debuted at #6 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart.
