Thursday October 21 * 7pm * outside at Rhizome * masks required * TICKETS

Mike Gangloff is a fiddler and multi-instrumentalist who for the past few decades has wandered back and forth between traditional and avant garde music, seeking unity -- and beauty -- in long drones and freeform scree, in melodies wrapped in a skin of groans and whoops. He is a founder of bands that include veteran improvisers Pelt, old-time rowdies Black Twig Pickers, and most recently, the cosmic Appalachian quartet Eight Point Star. With albums by Black Twig Pickers and Eight Point Star released earlier this year, and one by Pelt scheduled to land this month, Mike is focusing on a set of new, solo fiddle compositions, many played on hardanger-style and octave-string instruments. Like much of his music, the new pieces revolve around and relate somehow to the people and atmosphere of his home in Southwest Virginia. This show will be among the first public performances of most of this material.

The Pilgrims of Deep Run are a Baltimore based Irish Traditional group. Covering dance tunes such as reels, jigs, hornpipes, airs and more, the Pilgrims give the audience a wide variety of styles within the tradition.
