Fiddling Poet meets The Dust Busters at EOH
EARLVILLE – When Ken Waldman, Alaska’s Fiddling Poet, makes his first public appearance in the region, appearing Saturday, Nov. 10, at Earlville Opera House, he’ll have a number of stellar musicians joining him. His 8 p.m.. show in the EOH Arts Café is titled “From Earlville to Anchorage,” and Waldman will host an evening of variety that connects the grandeur of upstate New York to Alaska. He’ll be joined by New York City roots music trio, the Dust Busters, and likely by special guests.
A 25-year Alaska resident, Waldman’s performances have been described by Austin Chronicle writer, Ric Williams, “Feels like a Ken Burns movie. . . . Always recommended.” More recently, Shepherd Express Weekly in Milwaukee termed Waldman, “A one-man Prairie Home Companion” and the Denver Post called Waldman’s mix of words and music, “Renegade Americana.”
The Dust Busters are celebrating the release of their Smithsonian Folkways CD, Old Man Below, which was recorded with traditional music icon, John Cohen. About the project, John Cohen says, “The Dust Busters start where the New Lost City Ramblers left off, evoking the golden age of the 1920s and 1930s.” They are influenced and inspired by the direct fusion of Scots-Irish and African music that took place in Appalachia, the Western states and the Deep South from the earliest colonial times through the Second World War. The band includes are multi-instrumentalists Eli Smith, Walker Shepard, and Craig Judelman, though another multi-instrumentalist, Jackson Lynch, has recently replaced Judelman.
See the Earlville Opera House website for information about the 5 P.M. writing workshop by Ken Waldman that is included with the evening called: FOUR WRITING PROMPTS: THE BEGINNING OF FOUR NEW STORIES OR POEMS. Waldman will draw on his years teaching at colleges and universities—he has an MFA in Creative Writing—as well as his long experience around the country facilitating similar workshops.
Tickets are $20 for the general audience, $18 for EOH members, and $15 for students. Seating is limited. Don’t forget to visit our Artisan’s Gift Shop featuring over 35 regional artists with jewelry to blown glass to pottery. The EOH Arts Café will open one hour before the performance and serves tasty desserts and hot coffee/tea.
