The Syncopaths in Concert

From dance floors to concert halls, the Syncopaths bring a fresh, contemporary spin to music and songs rooted in the Scottish, Irish, and American folk traditions. They create a "chamber folk" sound with compelling interplay between fiddle and mandolin, rich vocals, and unexpected colors and rhythms from the piano and bodhrán. High-energy dance tunes and soulful contemplative songs are delivered with passion and humor, engaging with audiences to create lasting memories.

At the heart of the band's sound are the twin engines of Ryan McKasson's dynamic, Scottish-based fiddling and the understated-but-monster picking of mandolinist Ashley Broder. Jeff Spero provides wonderfully inventive and surprising piano accompaniment, anchored by the driving power of Christa Burch's non-traditional bodhrán. Christa also lends her singular voice to the beautiful, contemplative songs. They ably stretch melodic boundaries while keeping a steady, compelling, danceable beat, connecting with audiences through music, song, and story.

Their 2017 appearance at Abalone Hall became an epic night, with audience interaction taking the performance to new heights, and the band is eager to return.

Please join us on Friday, January 10th. The doors will open at 6:30PM; music starts at 7:30PM. This is an Oak & Thorn production to benefit our community radio station KZYX.
