Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman are world-renowned multi-instrumentalists and vocalists whose 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. The duo served as artists-in-residence at Symphony Space in New York City for the 2024-25 season and recently released their first full-length duo recording, Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman. As a soloist, Paxton is a Smithsonian Folkways recording artist, mainstay of the international blues festival circuit, and former artistic director of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival. Lichtman is a master of the clarinet, mandolin, and fiddle whose performance and recording credits include David Byrne, Pokey LaFarge, HBO’s Succession and The Plot Against America, Jim Kweskin, and his own solo projects.
A longtime Traditions of Jazz favorite, Dennis Lichtman is well known for his weekly livestreamed Trad Jazz Tuesday sessions from Mona's in New York City, connecting a global audience through exceptional traditional jazz performances. Tuesdays at 8pm, livestreamed here: https://www.youtube.com/@DennisLichtman
Doors open at 7:00. Concert at 7:30. Great Northern Distillery specialty drinks available from the listening room bar all evening.
