Oak and Thorn presents: The Syncopaths
Friday, January 10, 2020
Eagles Hall, Fort Bragg
Doors 6:30

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 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. What sets them apart from other excellent musicians, though, is their wonderful personalities and the sense of pure joy that emanates from their playing.
Their 2017 appearance at Abalone Hall became an epic night, with audience interaction taking the performance to new heights, and they have been eager to return. Don't miss this chance to see a very special band!
