Being a global forum, I hesitate... but hey why not. I'm playing a local gig that I would like to invite you to.
Fiddler Paul Friedman and I have been making some wonderful music together and are performing at a house concert in Katona near NYC next week. If you are anywhere near there, you’ve got to come and hear what we are doing, live.
If you can’t make it... don’t despair. Go to this link to hear a few samples of our sound. http://jodykruskal.com/paul_jody.html .
We are looking for a name for our new concert duo. Any ideas?
Here are the details...
Jody Kruskal & Paul Friedman
These two guys from Brooklyn love to play old-time tunes and songs from North America and beyond. Heart songs and hokum, by turns, silly, sweet and serious. Jody has a distinctly American sound on the concertina, like a fistful of harmonicas, with rich harmony and melodic counterpoint while pumping out rhythms with the bellows. Paul is deep in the traditions of old-time fiddling and both enjoy a rich medley of tunes and songs from the US, England, Sweden and the Shetland islands.
