WHY: Rich DelGrosso and Gerry Hundt bring on the Mandolin Madness- you will not want to miss this event! This will be a unique musical experience showcasing the often-neglected mandolin, which has a small but important part in the legacy of blues music. Rich DelGrosso is one of the premier blues mandolin players in the world. He was nominated for two Blues Music awards in 2009 - in the Instrumentalist: Other category and for the Live from Bluesville cd with Mookie Brill and Fiona Boyes. Rich has a deep, booming voice and a deft touch on the mandolin. Gerry Hundt is a multi-instrumentalist who has been a key member of Nick Moss & the Fliptops for the last five years. A skilled player on bass, harmonica and guitar, Gerry features his mandolin playing on his 2007 release, Since Way Back. Joining the duo for the evening is Nick Moss on bass guitar and the great Bob Carter on drums. Nick promises a killer version of "The Godfather Theme" on mandolin!!!
