A night of something different is being promised at Whangateau Hall on Thursday, March 8, when Nashville-based five-string fiddle players, Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmyer, take the stage.
Rachel is a former Illinois state fiddle champion and a 2015 Independent Music Award-nominated artist, while Christian has toured as a member of The Jerry Douglas Band and has appeared with Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Steve Earle, Vince Gill and Alison Brown.
The duo teamed up as 10 String Symphony and released their debut album in 2012, which was followed by the critically-acclaimed Weight of the World album in 2015.
They have performed at major events on both sides of the Atlantic, and are in NZ this year to promote their latest album, Generation Frustration. Produced by Kris Drever, of British folk band Lau, the album takes on today’s polarised political climate and “brings progressive folk into ethereal realms”.
10 String Symphony will be supported by local band The Pipi Pickers.
Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets $15.
