Ken & Brad Kolodner
March 27
Bowman Auditorium
Old Time Music
Ken Kolodner, regarded as one of the most influential hammered dulcimer players
and old-time fiddlers in the U.S., has joined forces with his son Brad Kolodner, a
rising star in the clawhammer banjo world. Father and son perform tight and
musical arrangements of original and traditional old-time music with a “creative
curiosity” that lets listeners know that a passion for traditional music still thrives in
every generation.
The duo started performing regularly together in 2009, and two years later they
released their first recording, Otter Creek, which became the most played
instrumental recording on the international folk DJ radio charts. Brad’s original
composition “Otter Creek” was the most played instrumental on the charts.
Through performance and on the strength of Brad’s first recording, he has rapidly
gained national recognition for his delicate touch and writing talent.
Ken Kolodner has previously appeared in the Lawrence County Concert series, and
we heartily welcome his return and the opportunity to see him perform with his son.

3. The Local Girls
October 18
Mains Rotunda
Americana Three-Part Harmony
The Local Girls, comprised of Mimi Hart, Brenda Catania, and Gay Dalzell, have
been performing music together since 1988. The Athens, Ohio-based trio’s
swinging three-part harmony and engaging delivery have delighted audiences at
the White House, on NPR, PBS-TV, A Prairie Home Companion variety show, and
throughout France, Germany and Austria.
A Local Girls performance always has plenty of material from the swing era of the
1930s and 1940s, with standards by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Harold Arlen,
and harmonies inspired by the Boswell Sisters and The Rhythm Boys.
However, their song list reads like the history of 20th century music, including blues,
bebop, cowpoke yodeling, and songs by Randy Newman, T Bone Burnett, Ike
Turner and Carole King. Their special children's program, “Cowgirls: their Songs
and Stories,” presents a history lesson of Western women in song with cattle calls,
lullabies, yips and yodels.
Covering a century of American songwriting, The Local Girls create a warm and
varied musical event, bringing good humor and haunting harmonies to songs from
the silly to the heartbreaking. Transcending nostalgia, they’ll delight lovers of live--
and lively--music. We welcome their return to the Lawrence County Concert series!
Backyard Dixie February 14
Mains Rotunda
New Orleans Style
Dixieland Jazz
The Backyard Dixie Jazz Stompers were formed in 1984 by musicians from the
Huntington and Charleston areas. All members of the group were involved with
other bands in the region, but they came together because of their love for
Dixieland Jazz, which the group performs in the New Orleans style.
The Stompers have been featured in festivals and events throughout Ohio,
Kentucky, West Virginia and North Carolina. They’ve performed on the venerable
riverboats the Delta Queen, the Mississippi Queen and the American Queen, as well
as on the Jewel City Sternwheeler, the West Virginia Belle and the P.A. Denny.
Sit back and get ready to tap your feet and sway with the lively jazz music of this
fun-loving band!

4. John Mock
November 8
Bowman Auditorium
Multimedia folk Performance
John Mock is an artist, and the sea and its coasts are his muse. He captures in
music and in photographs the heritage of the sea.
Audiences enjoy his narration and storytelling, which enliven the characters and
places upon which his music is based. Mock performs original instrumental
compositions on the guitar, concertina, mandolin and tin whistle. His own nature
photography is projected onto a screen behind him, providing a scenic backdrop
for the music.
A native of Connecticut’s eastern shore, Mock’s work has taken him around the
world. Widely sought after as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, he
has worked with such notable artists as the Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Nanci
Griffith, Maura O’Connell, Kathy Mattea and Mark O’Connor.
While in the Ironton area, Mock will present an educational program for the
students at Rock Hill.
