$15ADV / $18DOS

Partially seated show

The Lovestruck Balladeers enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. Born out of New York’s vibrant classic jazz and traditional music scene, The Lovestruck Balladeers formed during a series of recording sessions for Jalopy Records' 2018 release, Estrellas de Radio.  Since their debut at The Brooklyn Folk Festival that same year,  the versatile quintet has made a name for itself as a compelling new act highlighting musical excellence, fresh arrangements, original songs and a tightly crafted stage show.

 

The Lovestruck Balladeers are Jake Sanders, Dennis Lichtman, Sean Cronin and Dalton Ridenhour.  Featuring special guest Mike Davis.  

 

Debuting in 2023, the Troubadours of Rhythm are a captivating journey through time, skillfully led by Milwaukee legend Jon Mroz.  Drawing inspiration from the electrifying ambiance of the late 1920s and early 1930s south side Chicago (and north side Milwaukee!), the Troubadours are a musical time machine, transporting listeners and dancers to an era of exuberance and innovation.  

From stomps to rags; from blues to swing, Mroz and his musical comrades have traveled the country to cleverly revive the syncopated rhythms, timeless melodies and improvisational spirit that defined the golden age of jazz on the cusp of swing.  This eclectic five-piece combo features guitar, banjo, upright string bass, acoustic piano, cornet, clarinet, trombone, washboard with vocal shouts and harmonies.
