For 25 years, Ken Waldman has toured North America as Alaska's Fiddling Poet, combining Appalachian-style string-band music with smart poetry and Alaska-set storytelling. Ken will be joined by favorite accompanists, The Snappin' Bug Duo. That's Mark Tamsula & Barbara Rosner from Pittsburgh, multi-instrumentalists who specialize in Pennsylvania fiddle tunes collected by noted Penn State musicologist, Samuel Bayard.
Expect an evening of inspiration and surprise that will include twin fiddle breakdowns, sweet original waltzes, clawhammer banjo, and rare Pennsylvania fiddle tunes, all intertwined with Ken Waldman's storytelling and poetry. Celebrate National Poetry Month as Ken Waldman & The Snappin' Bug Duo transport attendees from our beautiful Tioga County to the real Alaska through music and words.
