Gella’s Diner and Lb Brewing will feature live folk-rock music next month in Hays.

Von Strantz, whose music is described as folk ’n’ roll, will perform at the downtown Hays establishment, 1117 E. 11th, at 8 p.m. Sept. 17. There is no cover.

“The sound of Von Strantz is described simply as folk n’ roll, akin to the tradition of Over the Rhine and the sacredness of The Vespers; the instrumentals stir the soul much like Mumford and Sons,” according to a news release.

Utilizing a variety of instruments such as the mandolin, violin, bass and cello, Von Strantz unites harmonies strung together by commanding and soulful lyrics. With story-sharing as their passion, Von Strantz invites their audience into the emotion of each piece. Von Strantz is storytellers, an ebb and flow of two different musicians, exploring the dark and emerging with hope.

Lb Brewing is located at 117 E 11th St.
