UPCOMING EVENTS

 

BEGINNING MAY 1 - Open Mic Nights on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month.

Coming June 4 at 8pm - Starch & Iron: banjo and fiddle duets by Joel Lensch and Chris Mattingly. The music of Starch & Iron represents a distilled version of Appalachian mountain music, which was originally transplanted from the British Isles. While many of the tunes Starch & Iron play have their basis in Ireland, Scotland, and England, the tunes have undergone significant rhythmic and tonal changes while in the Southern mountains. One of the largest differences between the tunes played in both the British Isles and Appalachia comes from the influence of African rhythms. Not only do the earliest forms of the banjo come from Africa, but African-Americans also approached the fiddle as a rhythmic instrument. When whites and blacks combined these vigorous new rhythms to old melodies we get a dynamic repertoire of tunes that are peppy, lonesome, humorous, ancient and eerily current. Centuries of history are distilled in the old music of Starch & Iron.
