Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman

Jerron Paxton, equally and impressively talented on banjo, guitar, harmonica, vocals, fiddle, and piano, breathes new life into the treasured forms of Black American vernacular music. Dennis Lichtman is a masterful multi-instrumentalist (clarinet, mandolin, violin, and more) who has toured and recorded with such luminaries as David Byrne, The Lovestruck Balladeers, and Pokey LaFarge. Their mutual love of the history, stories, and significance behind the music they play is apparent as they romp through an energetic and engaging set of acoustic blues, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley pop songs, 1920s jazz, twin fiddle hoe-downs, and original songs and compositions. This is roots music in the truest sense of the word.
