Transatlantic Oldtime Music (with Paddy League & Michael Starkey)
Waller’s Coffee Shop, Decatur GA
In this second of just two shows, we are excited to be joined by two far-flung friends for a special collaboration. Florida-based Paddy League (guitar, bouzouki, bodhran) is a master of both Irish and Greek music. The outstanding clawhammer banjo playing of Michael Starkey (Edinburgh, Scotland) has already begun to make waves on this side of the pond.
This exciting transatlantic collaboration remains centered in the authentic oldtime appalachian music of the pre-radio era while exploring its roots and branches to create new musical conversations.
This will be an almost acoustic show. You’ll love it.
Tickets are $15. Advance tickets are available here. Waller’s has beer, coffee, and food.
