Fall 2019 Performances

Knuckle Dusters

November 15
KNUCKLE DUSTERS
The Knuckle Dusters have performed traditional old-time fiddle, swing, ragtime, country, blues, and hillbilly-jazz music for diverse audiences across the Mid-Atlantic States. While some bands are "jam" bands, the Knuckle Dusters just might be America's best "museum band" having performed for the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Textile Museum in DC, the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester VA, and for the Central Park Zoo in New York City. The Knuckle Dusters are colorful characters with a deep repertoire matched only by their miles of musical experience.

Seaman

November 29
TIMOTHY SEAMAN
A special Thanksgiving weekend treat for the family. Timothy Seaman is a master of the hammered dulcimer, creating cascades of beautiful sound.

In anticipation of the Christmas season, listen for a few favorites carols rendered in new and stirring way to usher in the holidays.
