SUMMARY:Flamenkora
DESCRIPTION:By sensitively and skillfully interweaving improvised trumpet and flamenco guitar with traditional mandinka kora and vocals from Senegal\, FlamenKora creates timeless and enchanting multicultural music; a welcome balm in these troubled times. Volker Goetze’s evocative trumpet lines dance gracefully with the soulful vocals and kora of his newest duo partner\, the esteemed master of traditional Mande music – Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko. Up-and-coming Rio de Janeiro and Madrid based flamenco guitar maestro Roberto Monteiro is the newest band member\, adding authentic Spanish flair with driving rhythms and subtle\, imaginative colors. As the group’s founder and producer\, Goetze brings a special wisdom to FlamenKora\, acquired not only through decades of devotion to West African Mande music\, but also through a deep mastery of jazz composition and arrangement and a recent deep dive into the melodic and rhythmic traditions of flamenco. In 2025 FlamenKora spent June in residence at the Manship Artists Residency\, developing new compositions and deepening the project’s fusion of flamenco\, kora traditions\, and jazz. \nAli Boulo Santo Cissoko kora\, vocals A virtuoso kora player\, singer and modern griot\, Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko carries forward the legacy of grandfather\, the legendary “King of the Kora\,” Soundioulou Cissokho.

He has collaborated with global luminaries such as Youssou N’Dour\, Angelique Kidjo\, Omar Sosa\, Tony Allen\, and Piers Faccini\, expanding the reach of the kora – enchanting sound. As a cultural ambassador\, Cissoko’s music preserves the rich oral traditions of the Mandingo people while pushing the boundaries of contemporary world music. “Ali Boulo Santo’s style of playing the kora is outstanding because of his perfect mastering of this ancient instrument as well as his willingness to innovate.” – Frank Bessman\, Musique Afrique \nVolker Goetze trumpet & flugelhorn An award-winning trumpeter\, composer\, and filmmaker\, Volker Goetze is celebrated for his ability to fuse jazz with global musical traditions\, creating transcendent works that promote cultural connectivity.

Their album Amanke Dionti was named “Best World Music Album of 2012” by NPR’s The World and has garnered over 35 million streams worldwide. Goetze’s latest project\, Little Big Top (Motema\, 2024)\, is a collaborative journey with legendary accordionist\, Guy Klucevsek\, through musical landscapes where echoes of the ballroom\, barroom\, bordello\, circus\, and concert hall intermingle with jazz and folk from around the world. His prior release FlamenKora (2023)\, bridges West African kora\, Spanish flamenco\, and American jazz\, earning international acclaim and sold-out performances in Europe. A multimedia artist\, Goetze’s film “The Griot” and innovative his innovative Sonic Gates project in Staten Island\, New York —the city’s first Sound Sculpture Walk—are examples of his commitment to integrating music\, art\, and community.

Volker Goetze has been traveling the world in search of that ecumenical sound ideal that enables him to play on all fronts and in all tones… to go even further and find a form of expression rooted in the soil of a people to make the colors even more vivid and shimmering. – RFI (Radio France International) \nROBERTO MONTEIRO flamenco guitar This rising guitarist born in 1987 in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, began his studies in classical guitar at the age of 16 at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, where he also studied flamenco guitar with Mara Lúcia Ribeiro (one of the first flamenco guitarists in Brazil\, a disciple of Entri de Cañorroto).

He is currently working in tablaos in Madrid\, being the artistic director of Sala Temple; he accompanies renowned singers of the Spanish pop scene such as Lola Indigo\, María Pelae and Vicente Navarro and the dance company Matices. His participation in FlamenKora is a gift to all who have the chance to experience his moving and dedicated artistry.

SUMMARY:Dueling Pianos
DESCRIPTION:Dueling Pianos is back. Bring your friends and have a ball. Dueling Pianos is a massive “to the top of your lungs” sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists that seem to know every song ever written. \nEach show is different because it’s all request. And you or your friends might get called up onstage for a bit of good humored fun and some unforgettable you-tube moments. These shows are request oriented\, interactive sing-a-longs wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock\, men against women\, etc. \nDueling piano shows often take unexpected turns\, like involving wait staff members\, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members. There aren’t many boundaries. It’s one big sing-along party\, swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. You’re not just being entertained by the piano players – you are part of the show! \n“Think YOU won’t sing along? Just TRY not too…. I dare ya!”

Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto\, Chanticleer has become one of the most prolific touring and recording ensembles\, with over one million albums sold.

In 2026\, “Betty’s in the Band\,” her duet with Weston Hunter\, sparked an even bigger breakthrough: a live clip went viral before the song’s release\, and the track surpassed one million Spotify streams in its first ten days\, growing her monthly audience to more than half a million listeners. \nAbigail has become a fixture of Nashville’s songwriter scene\, selling out her EP release show at The Basement and making her AmericanaFest debut this September.

Her debut album arrives in the fall\, bringing years of work together in one defining statement and opening the door to her next chapter. \nABOUT MELANIE MACLAREN \nMelanie MacLaren has quickly established herself in the folk and Americana scene with her unique ability to blend poetic lyricism and a tongue-in-cheek sensibility with timeless folk style. Melanie’s “haunting yet humorous” songs\, distinctive finger-style guitar and soul-string vocals have won over live audiences nationally and internationally since 2022.

Within a few months of the release\, she had signed with Tone Tree\, landed several coveted playlist spots (most notably Spotify’s Best of 2022 Fresh Folk Finds)\, and released a second EP of duets entitled “Tadpole Emporium” with Dublin songwriter Lorkin O’Reilly (DUG) which they toured together in the UK and Ireland. \nMelanie then released her second solo EP “Tourist” in April 2023. With tracks featured on multiple editorial playlists (most notably Spotify Fresh Finds and Spotify’s Best of 2022 Fresh Folk Finds) she garnered over 2.5 million streams across platforms. After touring extensively in 2023 and early 2024\, Melanie released a live to tape EP of her early work this May entitled “Songs are Ghosts” and an EP “Bloodlust. \nMelanie has toured in the US solo four times to enthusiastic audiences as well as touring the UK and Ireland.

SUMMARY:Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman
DESCRIPTION:Virtuoso multi-instrumentalists Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman celebrate the roots of American music with an energetic blend of acoustic blues\, ragtime\, traditional jazz\, Tin Pan Alley favorites\, and original songs. Their masterful musicianship\, rich storytelling\, and infectious chemistry create an unforgettable concert honoring the enduring spirit of early American musical traditions. \nJerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman are world-renowned multi-instrumentalists and vocalists whose formal musical partnership began with a video shoot\, Just Cross the River From Queens\, at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in 2017. Paxton and Lichtman recently released their first full-length duo recording. The duo were Artists-In-Residence at NYC’s Symphony Space for the 2024-25 season and have toured the US and internationally together since 2019. \nSmithsonian Folkways recording artist Paxton presents Black folk music from nearly all the idioms that entails: stride piano jazz from New Orleans to New York; deep blues on guitar and harmonica; rural music from the beginnings of Black arrival in America played on fiddle and\nbanjo; ragtime; and other turn-of-the-century-music that gives the full breadth of pre-WWII Black music without lecturing\, but rather inviting you to enjoy that music as it was given to him. Paxton transports his audiences not to a time\, but to a state of mind that allows them to enjoy and internalize Black folk music\, as has been the American experience for centuries. \nLichtman is a world-traveling bandleader who is best known for running the famed trad-jazz jam sessions at Mona’s Bar in New York City since 2007\, which was described in the Wall Street Journal as “ground zero for an emerging late-night scene of young traditional jazz and swing players.” He is a masterful multi-instrumentalist (clarinet\, mandolin\, violin\, and more) who has toured and recorded with David Byrne\, The Lovestruck Balladeers\, Pokey LaFarge\, Ghost Train Orchestra\, Jim Kweskin\, and his own projects: The Brain Cloud\, Mona’s Hot Four\,\nand his newest all-original album Secret Workshop. \nPaxton and Lichtman’s 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.

In short\, East Nash Grass have quickly established themselves as the fresh new face of Nashville’s storied bluegrass tradition\, a supergroup of rising stars: Grand Master Fiddle champion Denton is joined by banjo player Cory Walker (banjo player on the five-time nominated “Carter & Cleveland” album this year\, among numerous accolades)\, 2022 IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year Harry Clark\, and new guitar player Frank Rische. This is an all-star band that harkens back to the sort of talent collected in the original Blue Grass Boys and a powerhouse leader of the next generation in bluegrass excellence.
