The September 24–27 concert calendar offers a useful small-scale route for listeners drawn to texture, close phrasing, and the long reach of American roots music. Start Thursday with Glenn Jones’s instrumental guitar at Constellation, move south Friday for S. Carey at Ramova Theatre, then spend Friday and Saturday at The Hideout with Two Runner and Sera Cahoone. The common ground is attentive songwriting and arrangements that leave room for strings, open air, and the grain of an individual voice.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Thursday: Glenn Jones at Constellation

Glenn Jones plays Constellation on Thursday, September 24, at 8 p.m., with Liam Grant and Katie Ernst also on the bill. Jones’s catalog is rooted in composed music for guitar and banjo, including work for six- and 12-string guitar, so this is the most purely instrumental stop on the route. Constellation has the date filed under instrumental music, a fitting frame for a set where alternate tunings, touch, and pacing carry the narrative weight.[1]

Friday: S. Carey at Ramova Theatre

Friday turns from solo-string detail toward S. Carey’s careful fusion of folk songwriting, acoustic instruments, and atmospheric production. He plays Ramova Theatre at 7 p.m. on September 25. Carey’s 2025 release Watercress begins with guitar and centers a restorative, landscape-minded set of songs; his earlier work also moves easily between piano-led intimacy, percussion, and ambient color. Ramova’s listing places the show in its Loft, giving this stop a contained counterpoint to the larger building’s varied weekend program.[2][3]

Friday and Saturday: Two Runner and Sera Cahoone at The Hideout

The Hideout provides the weekend’s clearest two-night sequence. Two Runner, with Maisy Owen, arrives Friday, September 25, at 7 p.m. The venue describes Paige Anderson’s Porchlight as a record of intimate confessionals, string arrangements, and hymns shaped by her early bluegrass experience; Owen brings viola, guitar, and fingerpicking to the supporting slot. Together, that makes Friday’s bill the most direct entry point for listeners following the thread from acoustic guitar into country-inflected songcraft.[4]

Sera Cahoone follows at The Hideout on Saturday, September 26, at 7 p.m., with Edie McKenna. Cahoone’s I’ve Missed You All These Years arrived August 28 and draws together blues, folk, pop, and country, with pedal steel, piano, electric guitar, and acoustic melodies all part of its palette. Her Saturday date supplies a fuller-band sense of color after Friday’s pared-back materials, while keeping the focus on songs built from voice and guitar. It is an especially logical final stop for anyone seeking a weekend that favors detail over spectacle.[5][6]
