The Folk Across the Street barn in West Creek was aglow with music, history and community on Saturday night. Inside, listeners were treated to the region-specific rootsy sounds of Jackson Pines trio Joe Makoviecki (guitar, vocals, harmonica), James Black (upright bass) and Cranston Dean (drums, vocals).

The group falls solidly in the indie folk genre. “‘Independent’ because we book and fund everything ourselves; we’re the only ones making sure we keep putting out music,” Makoviecki explained.
