Description

Barbelfish Balkan Band plays soul-stirring music for dancing and listening from Eastern Europe and beyond, especially from Macedonia, Bulgaria and Greece. Village and urban music from the Balkans offers some of the most exquisite melodies, soaring harmonies and driving rhythms on the planet and Barbelfish expertly delivers them--often making their audience want to jump up and dance! Barbelfish is James Hoskins - gudulka (Bulgarian folk fiddle), cello, vocals; Julie Lancaster - tambura, accordion, vocals; Jesse Manno - percussion, vocals; Steve Mullins - tambura, guitar, mandolin, bouzouki; Amy Self - clarinet and kaval; and Loren Uecker - vocals, riqq. The group plays for concerts and folk dance parties along the Front Range. Individually, the players work with such groups as Planina, Sherefe and Laughing Hands. This is an outdoor concert weather permitting, which will move indoors if necessary. Seating is provided. Snacks and soft drinks available for purchase. This is part of the "Under the Willows Concert Series," (see flyer below) and as the name suggests there is a shady and idyllic area for experiencing music. The grounds is also open for visiting goats, walking the labyrinth, and relaxing.
