Program Description: Summertime is back once again, and so, too, is Music Under the Moon at Cincinnati Nature Center. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Cincinnati Nature Center’s Krippendorf Lodge, this summer concert series will feature a different local band each month. Come for one date or join us for all four. Either way, each show is sure to be high energy and have everyone on their feet!

Wine, beer, and a signature foraged cocktail will be available for purchase as well.

Event time is 7-10 pm, with music from 7:30-9:30 pm. Doors will open at 6:45 pm. No entry into the venue will be allowed prior to this time.

Band: Jim Trace & the Makers https://jimtraceandthemakers.com/
Founded in Cincinnati, Jim Trace and The Makers formed in the summer of 2014. What started as a bourbon-soaked jam session turned into a hard-rocking folk-infused force in the Midwest. In 2015, the band added fiddle and bass to round out the ensemble. JTM released their acclaimed debut, "A Little Hazy" and set out touring across the Midwest. After a few years of exploring an indie-rock vibe, the band returned to their folk and Americana roots with the release of a new single, "Bones" in 2022. Jim Trace and The Makers continue to perform around the tristate area and are looking to expand to new cities across the Midwest in 2025 with the release of their first LP in 10 years. Look for Jim Trace's newest album, "Mash Bill" in early 2025.
