Performance starts at 7.30pm\, you will get a seat if you arrive close to 7pm \nChristchurch Folk Club – Irish Society Hall\, 29 Domain Terrace\, Spreydon The hall is situated up the long driveway\, directly next to Domain Park\, and there is plenty of well-lit off-street parking. \nMembers: $20\nNon Members:$25\nStudents: $5 \nAn evening of Old Time and Bluegrass music from the USA with George Jackson and Brad Kolodner. \nAt the heart of all traditional music lies two important coordinates\, the time and place of origin; objective definitions in the ever evolving aesthetics of folk music. These coordinates are the concepts explored with infinite new possibilities by New Zealand-born\, Nashville-based fiddler George Jackson and Baltimore based American banjoist Brad Kolodner. The two musicians met years ago in a late-night jam session at the hallowed Appalachian String Band Music Festival in West Virginia and have since formed a musical bond that runs deep\, across continents and through a number of recorded projects. From the moment the fiddle bow hits the strings and the fingers grasp the fretboard\, George and Brad are locked in\, weaving their way through ancient melodies made new again. From trance-inducing moody original tunes to classic barnburners\, their show has something for serious or casual folk music fans alike. They play with a mischievous curiosity that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats wondering where they’ll go next. \nTraveling has been a way of life for George\, who was born to musician parents in Christchurch\, New Zealand. He spent the better part of his childhood living and touring around in a house bus with his family band Fiddlesticks. Moving to Australia as a teen he performed across the country in bluegrass bands and won the Australian National Bluegrass Fiddle Championship three times. An avid student of American fiddle styles\, Jackson eventually made his way to Nashville\, TN where he now lives and works. He performs as a band leader and fiddler for hire with artists such as The Jacob Jolliff Band\, Jake Blount and Tall Poppy String Band and has released three solo albums of fiddle tunes to acclaim in the USA\, where some of his compositions are now close to standard jam repertoire across the continent. \nGrowing up in a musical family\, Brad was exposed to folk music from birth. His father Ken Kolodner is a renowned hammered dulcimer player and fiddler who toured for many years in the folk trio Helicon. When Brad picked up the banjo as a teen\, everything started to click into place. Since then\, he’s charted a path centered on performing\, recording\, broadcasting and community organizing. He’s an acclaimed clawhammer banjo player who performs with the chart-topping Irish\, Old-Time\, Bluegrass fusion quartet Charm City Junction. He’s recorded four albums of Old-Time and original music with his father Ken under the name Ken & Brad Kolodner. \n
