Lansing's Twyla Birdsong has put together a program of favorites, entitled "Don't Waste Time," accompanied by some of Mid-Michigan's finest musicians, including Andy Callis (keys), Bonnie Dottery (drums), Eric Hamilton (bass), and Doug Fritch (guitar).
The Fiddle will wrap up its 50th year with a party at Old Town Lansing's UrbanBeat with classic blues, swing and world jazz...from Detroit. The Paxton/Spangler Band will make its way through the Great American Songbook, highlighting songs and tunes from Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Burt Bacharach, Carole King and many more... UrbanBeat offers food and beverage service.
The young and vibrant Southwest Louisiana band takes Cajun, honky-tonk, and string-band music as their starting point, and keeps an open mind about where their song craft will lead them. Food and Drinks available on site at Urban Beat.
Focusing on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this collaboratory brings together some of North America’s most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle, and reimagine traditional music. Join the Fiddle for this very, very special mid-week concert, to be held at Urban Beat, a new, intimate performance space on the first block of Turner Street, in Lansing's Old Town.
