SECOND SATURDAY CONCERTS Presents -
Daniel Boling
with Mystery Loves Company opening
Daniel Boling
Winner of the Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk songwriter contest, the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, and others, Daniel shares experiences from a life well-lived in three countries and seven states. This balladeer/songwriter with the friendly tenor brings his well-crafted story songs to happy audiences throughout the U.S. and in Europe in over one hundred shows a year, from house concerts and listening rooms to major festivals – Kerrville, Winfield, Woody Guthrie, and others. Daniel is also a member of the iconic 1960s folk trio The Limeliters.
Born into a traveling Air Force family, he later worked as a National Park Ranger (yes, the gun-toting kind) and as a Criminal Investigator for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. He started touring full-time at 50, when most guys are planning their retirement.
Daniel’s 11th solo album – IT MATTERS featuring Tom Paxton – was released April 18, 2025 on Berkalin Records and features 16 of the songs Daniel and Tom have co-written since their previous collaboration album in 2023 … cherry-picked from three times that many. It is enjoying excellent reviews and radio play across North America, Europe, U.K., Australia, and beyond.
Mystery Loves Company
Chamber folk rockers Mystery Loves Company began their journey in Houston, TX in 2012 as a duo. This intriguing pair consists of Maddy, a conservatory-trained cellist with a highly technical musical background, and Carlos, a self-taught guitarist from Venezuela who is passionate about songwriting.
Their paths crossed at an open mic where Carlos was showcasing his new material. Maddy was performing with a friend for fun, but her virtuosic cello skills caught Carlos's attention immediately. He proposed a collaboration on original music, and they quickly discovered a mystifying sound, woven with deep sentiments surrounding human struggle, safety, worth, and equality. Their captivating songs have resonated with audiences who appreciate live music and the blend of classical and jazz instruments in a rock/folk setting. They began performing regularly around Houston, eventually touring throughout Texas and the Midwest.
The full band includes Danny Patterson on drums and Chase Demel on keys, enhancing the dynamic vocal duo that is Mystery Loves Company.
Houston Folklore and Music Society presents folk music concerts from a wide variety of subgenres on the second Saturday of each month (except as noted above) at The Annex at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
