The Folkus Project wraps up its spring season with an extraordinary musical showcase featuring two of Central New York's best-loved acoustic duos together for one night only. Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand, Loren Barrigar, and Mark Mazengarb as you've never seen them before, combining their talents in an exciting mix of Celtic and Americana roots music.

"[The VanNorstrands'] material is original, yet sounds timeless, demonstrating a depth of musical understanding seldom found in musicians double or triple their ages." – Rob Weir, Sing Out!

[Loren & Mark:] "A premier acoustic act...flawless fretwork." -- Syracuse NewTimes

This show promises to be an electrifying tour de force. Known for their lively performances, these artists boast outstanding musicality and spontaneous creativity. Their concerts are highlighted by spirited interplay and stunning proficiency, creating an astounding level of energy that springs from the stage. The interaction among these artists is as much a feature of their shows as is their world-class musicianship.

               
                             
                                                 
VVB&M: Advance Tickets No Longer Available . . . But plenty of great door tickets still remain.

The VanNorstrands have been bringing their brand of high-energy alternative folk music to concert halls, festival stages, and dance floors across North America for more than a decade. Barrigar and Mazengarb are two of the most accomplished fingerstyle guitarists in the world. Their live performances feature not only their spectacular technical grasp of the guitar, but also a dynamic musical chemistry. The stunning abilities of these gifted musicians have built strong local followings. This is a unique opportunity to hear them together and this show is sure to sell out.
