SUMMARY:CONCERT | American Bluegrass & Square Dance
DESCRIPTION:American Bluegrass & Square Dance\nPurchase Tickets\nTwo American traditions\, one summer evening.

A generation apart in age\, Winne and Delillo draw from the great brother duet tradition—the Stanley Brothers\, the Blue Sky Boys\, the Everly Brothers—while sounding entirely like themselves. Named for Delillo’s mother\, an Alabama belle\, the band moves between high-octane drive and something quieter and more lonesome\, sometimes within the same song. \nLiz Slade | Caller\, fiddler\, and educator Liz Slade has spent more than four decades drawing people into community dance. Rooted in the old-time traditions of the Virginia and Carolina mountains and the contra dance world of New England\, she’s known for her warmth\, her clarity\, and her ability to make beginners and seasoned dancers feel equally at home.
