SUMMARY:Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nCome join MHU’s Ramsey Center for Appalachian Studies for a live performance at Mars Hill University’s intimate Owen Theatre! \nPlease join the Ramsey Center for Appalachian Studies for our annual spring concert. This year\, we are proud to welcome Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves! \nAllison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves are thrilled to announce their live album recording tour\, capturing the energy of each night on stage. As a duo\, they thrive in live performance—responding to each audience\, each space\, and the spontaneity of the moment. From the first strum of the banjo or pull of the bow\, time slips away as de Groot & Hargreaves settle in on stage to entertain. They offer sets of instrumentals in medley; tell stories of lyrics and verses and from where they were found\, learned\, and arranged; they’ll sing in harmony – acapella or accompanying each other in experimental or classic ways; they laugh and banter and engage their audiences\, encouraging dancing and singing along. At times\, their songs purposefully fly off the rails into noise\, spacey bridges\, and ripping hoedowns\, bow strokes and frailing giving way to scratches and honks\, wails and trills. It’s old-time and it’s jamgrass\, it’s rehearsed and it’s improvised\, it’s electric and goosebump-raising. It’s also tight\, tidy\, and professional and while demanding that you remain on the absolute edge of your seat. \n  \nTickets available here.  \n
