Evie Ladin and Keith Terry

Wednesday, July 22, 2:30 PM PDT
$15 – $45

The polyrhythmic heat of Evie Ladin’s clawhammer banjo, resonant voice, real stories, and rhythmic dance have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Lincoln Center, Celtic Connections to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Brazil to Bali. A prolific creator and gracious facilitator, Ladin grew up steeped in traditional folk music/dance throughout the East Coast. She brings a syncretic vision to new work while holding fast to her roots.

Ladin sings and plays infectious clawhammer banjo, while Terry is a master percussionist. It was Appalachian string band music pared to the absolute minimum of accompaniment, but packed with an orchestra’s worth of rhythm.”

- Music City Roots, Nashville

She can write, she can sing, and she pulls back from the saccharine brink with wit – a sharp intelligence.”

- Grant Alden, No Depression

Mr. Terry in action is like visiting an anatomical carnival, where hands, feet, fingers, engage in a musical ballet.”

- Wall Street Journal

You don’t often hear words like “traditional,” and “authentic” paired with “innovative” and “unique,” but Evie Ladin & Keith Terry have brought them together brilliantly, and the result is truly a high point in new old-time music.”

- FOLKWORKS, Los Angeles

(An) arrestingly fun show, bursting with talent.. every song, dance solo, and mid-number banjo breakdown was following by vigorous clapping and hollers.

- Smile Politely, Champaign-Urbana
