On Friday, November 13, Delaware Friends of Folk will present the next event in their 2026-27 Old State House concert series, inside the Old State House on The Green in Dover. This is the thirteenth season in the series which is produced in cooperation with the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs and First State National Heritage Park and is supported by a generous grant from the Kent County Fund for the Arts. The one-hour performance will begin at 7:30 pm. The concert is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7:00 and seating is limited.

The featured act is Cecil County performer Boxturtle Bob. Boxturtle Bob is a one-man band. He adeptly strums and picks his acoustic guitar while keeping the metronome-precise beat with his drum set and periodically playing zippy flourishes on his harmonica. His original songs make up a big portion of his set lists when performing at restaurants and bars in and around Cecil County, MD. His list of past and present bands includes the Crazy Planet Band, Nightstreet, Blues Blues, and Delmarva Folk Festival favorites, Planete Folle, which he described as a “cajun-zydeco version of the original Crazy Planet Band.“ In October 2025, Rob and the other members of the Crazy Planet Band were inducted into the Delaware Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Old State House concert series is presented by Delaware Friends of Folk. These events are supported by a grant from the Kent County Fund for the Arts, an organization that aims to enhance the quality of life, educate, and broaden perspectives by supporting the arts and arts organizations in Kent County. Support is also provided by the First State National Heritage Park, a partnership of State and City agencies under the leadership of Delaware State Parks and the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs. Delaware Friends of Folk are partially supported by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
