The Lovestruck Balladeers

($20-$30 tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8pm sets) The Lovestruck Balladeers enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. They might whip out a lost melody from a forgotten mandolin folio or they might play a Mexican waltz. They might push into a renegade rearrangement of a swing standard or get down with a country rag. Together or on their own paths, this stellar band of traveling musicians has traversed the country and the globe, carrying traditional styles into modern times. Their repertoire is a rare collection of American and international music seldom heard beyond the walls of low-lit dance halls at the edge of the known world.

Dennis Lichtman (clarinet, mandolin, violin) Mike Davis (trumpet) Jake Sanders (guitar) Dalton Ridenhour (piano) Sean Cronin (string bass)
