Four mandolinists including Don Stiernberg (Chicago), Carlo Aonzo (Italy) Brian Oberlin (Grand Rapids) and Don Julin (Traverse City) collaborate for the first time.
Held at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in downtown Kalamazoo, this musical free-for-all throws solos, duos, and full-on mandolin pileups at you like it’s some kind of stringed instrument carnival. Joining the fun is rhythm section Andy Henley (guitar) and Tom Knific (bass).
The genres range as far as your mind can wonder as the one-of-a-kind group delves into classical, swing, bluegrass, originals and all things mandolin-istic.
