PERFORMERS
STEVE LUTKE and the Appalachian Uprising are being hailed as one of the country's premier acoustic string bands whose sound delivers a tantalizing mix of traditional bluegrass and progressive string music highlighted by elements of jazz, classical music, some swing and mild newgrass. Bandleader Lutke is ranked as one the top progressive banjo wizards in the world, often referred to as “the Michael Jordan of the banjo”. His consummate virtuosity and right-on phrasing recalls guitarist Django Reinhardt or supreme banjo artists Béla Fleck or Earl Scruggs. Steve's credits include work performing and touring with legendary greats such as Vassar Clements, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Byron Berline and The Killybillys. This is a rare appearance in our area for Steve and his band, and they shouldn’t be missed!
The evening will open with JOHN GUTH, a premier guitarist and composer, who has toured and/or recorded with many well known artists including Bob Gibson, Tom Paxton, Mimi Farina, Susanne Vega, Judy Collins, Red Grammer, Tom Chapin, Paul Winter, Galt MacDermot, Michael Wolff, Jordan Rudess, and Peter Allen. His music opens and closes the Grammy winning audio book production of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as well as the other Harry Potter audio books. Some of you might remember John’s phenomenal guitar playing in our house band for our benefit last year at Wall to Wall 60’s. John will be joined by Rich Stein on percussion and Gary Soloman on bass.
