Two distinctive voices in contemporary roots music come together at the Fall Fiber Festival as George Carnes and Cole Ritter bring an engaging blend of Americana, folk-country and timeless musical storytelling to Washington Commons.

Louisville native George Carnes is a Berklee-trained singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music moves between intimate folk-rock, country and soulful singer-songwriter traditions. His expressive vocals, dynamic guitar work and thoughtful original songs create a sound that feels both fresh and comfortably familiar.

Cole Ritter is a Nashville-area singer-songwriter, guitarist, fiddler and multi-instrumentalist known for blending vintage country, folk, bluegrass, blues and rockabilly influences. A former American Idol contestant and winner of Belmont University's Country Showcase with his band The Night Owls, Ritter brings energetic musicianship and a deep appreciation for the roots of American music.

Together, Carnes and Ritter will deliver a performance filled with honest songwriting, exceptional musicianship and the warm, authentic sound of Americana and folk-country. Join them at the Commons for an afternoon of music that celebrates community, connection and the traditions that continue to shape American music.
