The Caravan of Fools, a Rockbridge-based acoustic band, will take to the Boxerwood stage this Friday, Aug. 11. Holly Ostby and Ben Worth began the path towards the band during the Covid winter of 2020, playing music on the screened in porch with masks, space heaters and hand warmers. Burr Datz joined in the spring of 2021 and the band was formed. Lee Sauder then sat in on a gig, the chemistry was there, and the Fools became a quartet. With John Prine songs a frequent staple of their playing, what better way to name the band than with a tribute to Prine and a song from his last album. The Fools perform songs from John Prine and Keb’ Mo’ to Elvis Costello, Janis Joplin, The Dead and The Band. Admission is free for Boxerwood members, $5 per person for nonmembers. Kids under 18 and parking are free. Pass-the-hat proceeds go to the musicians. The gate opens at 5:30 p.m. for picnicking, and music begins at 6:30.
