Weary Ramblers — Award-Winning Americana Duo
Weary Ramblers is an Iowa-based Americana duo featuring Chad Elliott and Kathryn Severing Fox. Drawing on folk, roots, and acoustic traditions, their music centers on songwriting, harmony, and story. Both artists bring years of touring and recording experience, performing as multi-instrumentalists with a shared focus on craft and connection.
The duo has received national and international recognition, including wins at the 2025 Josie Music Awards (Americana Song of the Year), the 2025 Iowa Blues Challenge (Solo/Duo), and the International Acoustic Music Awards (Best Group/Duo). Their work has also earned semi-finalist placements in the International Songwriting Competition and Unsigned Only Music Awards.
Weary Ramblers’ recordings have charted prominently on the Roots Music Report, including multiple #1 positions on the Contemporary Folk charts and extended runs among the top folk albums nationally. Their performances offer a focused, listening-room experience shaped by strong songwriting, close harmonies, and seasoned musicianship.
Before the concert, guests are invited to a free gallery reception from 5:30–7:00 p.m. featuring the work of regional artist Marie Merten in the Central Square Art Gallery.
