World Beat Fusion: June 24
World Beat Fusion: Friday June 24: 8:00 pm. $15 at door. A once-in-a-lifetime concert! Four remarkable musicians: Gary Santucci on guitar, Randal Hill on mandolin and fretless tenor banjo, Killian Bamberg on bass, with Bashir Abbas, Sudan’s premiere oud player. Gary Santucci: Just in case you don’t know; Gary is “the real thing” as he was called the other day. A guitarist/composer who plays flamenco, classical, and world beat. Randal Hill: Voted “Blue Grass Entertainer of the Year” (at least a hundred times…) Randall is one of the leading mandolin players around. He’s played with Ian Tyson among others… Killian Bamberg: Considered a “marvelous talent”, he can be found in any number of bands playing both upright and electric bass. Bashir Abbas is just plain incredible. He is the Sudan’s top instrumental musician (He will play the oud, which is a pear-shaped, lute-related, stringed instrument commonly used in North African and Middle Eastern music.) and we are stunned to have him here. What a night this will be!
