Don’t miss a night of high energy and toe-tapping music by Charm City Junction and the Ken & Brad Kolodner Trio!
From dance inducing Old Time rhythms and foot stomping Irish melodies to hard-driving Bluegrass, Baltimore-based Charm City Junction creates a fresh soundscape that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats wondering where they’ll go next. The band is comprised of four of the most talented and promising young acoustic roots musicians in the country: Patrick McAvinue on fiddle, Brad Kolodner on clawhammer banjo, Sean McComiskey on button accordion, and Alex Lacquement on upright bass.
“This quartet isn’t afraid to take roots music to new places but always with an eye on tradition.” – Washington Post
Baltimore’s Ken & Brad Kolodner Trio is comprised of the dynamic father-son duo Ken & Brad Kolodner who weave together a captivating soundscape on hammered dulcimer, banjo and fiddles pushing the boundaries of the Old-Time tradition into uncharted territory. Bassist Alex Lacquement locks everything together with his commanding and tasteful choices.
