Founding members Ryan Dunham and John Rice have been playing music together for over twenty years, creating the Red Haired Strangers’ unique sound that pulls from country, blues, and bluegrass influences. Beginning as a guitar and harmonica duo, their sound has been enriched with the addition of new musicians on fiddle, drums, bass, dobro, and pedal steel guitar.

Celebrating its 16th season, the UpBeat on the Roof summer series highlights regional musical talent in an array of styles.

UpBeat on the Roof takes place every Friday, July 1 through August 26 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm and is free and open to the public. The rooftop is accessible via the museum elevator or outdoor staircases. In the case of inclement weather the series is held inside the museum.
