Once a month, Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation hosts a concert in its main gallery. This month’s musical guest is Hog-Eyed Man, an Athens-based acoustic quartet formed by fiddler Jason Cade and multi-instrumentalist Rob McMaken (formerly of Dromedary, Kenosha Kid and Jim White’s band). Its sound follows the traditions of Southern Appalachian oldtime music, carrying the genre forward into the modern era. Though Hog-Eyed Man concerts are somewhat rare, Cade and McMaken performed for OCAF earlier this year, promising to return with a full quartet once their album, Across the Sea, was finished. The album is Hog-Eyed Man’s sixth and the first to be released on vinyl. OCAF members can receive a five-dollar discount on tickets to the show or purchase a front-row VIP table for four. Next month’s concert will be on Sept. 20, featuring Americana band Grassland.
