Join us at the Brown County Playhouse for an unforgettable evening with Otis Gibbs, along with special guests The Hammer & The Hatchet! Otis Gibbs is a true renaissance man—songwriter, storyteller, painter, photographer, and planter of 7,176 trees. Hailed as “the best unknown songwriter in music today,” Otis simply calls himself a Folk Singer. Growing up in Wanamaker, Indiana, and after 12 years in East Nashville, he’s now back in Indianapolis. His songs, rich with stories of everyday life, have earned comparisons to legends like Woody Guthrie, Tom T. Hall, Kris Kristofferson, and Townes Van Zandt. But Gibbs’ unique voice stands out, often drawing parallels to both Guthrie and Springsteen.

Opening the night is The Hammer & The Hatchet, a Hoosier duo from South Central Indiana. John Bowyer and Jayme Hood have spent the last decade crafting and refining their Midwestern Roots sound, releasing four albums of original music along the way. Their tunes have become a regional favorite, and you can catch them performing live or explore their music at thehammerandthehatchet.com.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the music and storytelling of these local talents!
