Ken & Brad Kolodner with Alex Lacquement — Music At The Medallion

The dynamic father-son team of Ken and Brad Kolodner weave together a captivating soundscape on hammered dulcimer, banjo and fiddle, 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 Kolodner, a rising star in the claw-hammer 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 Alex Lacquement. Together, they perform 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 yet thrives in every generation.”

Tickets are $15 in advance & $20 at the door.
