Those Rowdy Corinthians
"Those Rowdy Corinthians" (Sam Adams and Josh Compton) share their love for their roots, hymns, old-timey songs, and storytelling. Influenced by their Appalachian ancestors, they sing songs about trains, ships, love (lost or not), spiders, losing, running away, death, peace, pain, life, the wind, and God. They tell stories of thieves, disciples, and themselves as they explore their deep love for music and strive to keep the music of their ancestors alive.
Singing is loving.

A little bit about Mennofolk
Welcome to Mennofolk, a site to explore folk art and music created by people from Mennonite backgrounds. Mennofolk is not just for Mennonites, but it is from Mennonites, a gallery of delightful sounds and sights to be offered to the world, which come out of our collective experience of faith, music, and Anabaptist values. (for more information on Anabaptists go to third way cafe)
Mennofolk does not try to limit the themes of the songwriters it embraces, and it includes all acoustic genres and instruments, as well as visual folk arts and crafts.
There have been up to five Mennofolk locations across North America, each with a slightly different focus and form, and this website offers links to each.

Germantown Mennofolk Concert Series Concerts occur on a monthly basis.
