If you are one of those people still thinking that Deertrees Theatre is only about lovely chamber music played in an idyllic setting, it’s time to expand your thinking and realize that the idyllic setting and perfect acoustics that work so well for “highbrow” music, works just as well for other types of music.

This summer, Deertrees invites you to come have a beer or a glass of wine in their Salt Lick Cafa and then experience some very funky music in a really cool place. Located just outside the village of Harrison, the former opera house is rustic, laid-back, and quite a change from the standard music venues.

And just take a look at some of the “low-brow” music they have scheduled. If you can’t find something that fits your taste, you are simply not trying.

Close your eyes while listening to The Hunger Mountain Boys (Saturday, July 7), and you might think you’ve fallen through a crack in time. Like a backwoods moonshiner, the Massachusetts trio distills the best of country and bluegrass music from 1930s, 1940s and 1950s into a 100-proof blend of tight vocal harmonies, deft finger-pickin’ and, at times, wistful melancholy. Their spirit-filled performances have won them national recognition and their music has taken them from coast to coast, putting them on stages with roots-based artists such as TajMahal, Doc Watson, and Ralph Stanley.

On Friday, July 13 its “Ball in the House.” This five guy Boston based group is a tasty malange of classic street-corner soul, funk, rhythm & blues and hip-hop. “Their jawdropping a cappella brilliance, Top 10 song-crafting skills, and genius arrangements make BitH one of the best bands around bar none,” writes Songwriter’s Monthly. They have opened and performed with Gladys Knight, Jessica Simpson, Blondie, The Temptations, Smokie Robinson, Kool & the Gang, and a bunch of others. The show starts at 8 p.m.

On Saturday, July 14, Deertrees welcomes the exquisitely inventive guitar player Patty Larkin. On tour for her 10th album “Red = Luck,” Patty’s compelling and seductive vocals take center stage and defy all your folk music expectations. With a texturally rich conglomeration of Middle Eastern, Celtic, and pop influences, she so rivets her audiences that she has been hailed by the Boston Globe as “one of the finest architects of song.”

All shows start at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets prices are from $16 to $20. For complete program information and secure online ticketing, visit the Deertrees website at www.deeerthreestheatre.org.
