“We are proud to announce our first concert of the season at our new Arts Center,” said Great North Woods Committee for the Arts President Charlie Jordan. “It all gets underway at 7 p.m., on Friday, May 10 when the GNWCA hosts the dynamic trio of the Kolodners and Rachel Eddy at the Great North Woods Center for the Arts on Route 3 in Columbia.
“Even though we are still working on developing all the performance spaces at our new home for the arts, we wanted to get our season moving forward by opening up with a show that will bring music to the Arts Center and allow people to get a look at what we are planning ahead,” Jordan said. “We will be using the Stained Glass Gallery on the ground level of our big building for this show. The gallery seats about 50 people, so you’ll want to get your tickets early to reserve your seat in this historic first show at the new Center.”
The father and son duo of Ken and Brad Kolodner of Maryland and their touring companion, top old-timey fiddler Rachel Eddy, will bring a toe-tapping evening of Americana and old-time music. Ken and Brad Kolodner weave a captivating soundscape on hammered dulcimer, dueling banjos and triple fiddles, gourd banjo, the exotic hammered mbira, banjola, guitar and vocals pushing the boundaries of the old-time tradition into uncharted territory. Regarded as one of the most influential hammered dulcimer players in North America, Baltimore’s Ken Kolodner has joined forces with his son Brad, a rising star in the clawhammer banjo world. Together, they infuse their own brand of driving, innovative, tasteful and unique interpretations of traditional and original fiddle tunes and songs.
Rounding out the trio is multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Rachel Eddy, one of the world’s premier old-time fiddlers and all-around musicians. She is a former member of the group well-known mountain music bands Uncle Earl.
Combined, the trio performs tight musical arrangements of original and traditional old-time music with a creative curiosity that lets all listeners know that a passion for traditional music very much thrives today.
