A night of solo, acoustic performers descends upon the Dragonfly Lounge – Liv Mueller, Milwaukee songstress, will grace us with acoustic guitar & vocals, as will Madison resident Chris Plowman. BCG will perform a solo set on 7 string Guqin & 21 string Guzheng Chinese zithers. Promising to pair nicely with touring musician Sean Gaskell‘s set on 21 string Kora, a West African harp. Kora music is traditionally beholden to a dazzling display of dexterity. With swirling sequences of vorticose triplets by flam-ing fingers – Gaskell nails the core of this joyous sound.
Two 21-string harps from two different continents in one night – excited yet?
