Ken and Brad Kolodner
Folk/Traditional, Bluegrass. Innovative Old Timey

Regarded as one of the most influential hammered dulcimer players in the US, Baltimore’s Ken Kolodner has joined forces with his son Brad Kolodner, one of the finest practitioners of the clawhammer banjo, to perform tight and musical arrangements of original and traditional old-time music with a “creative curiosity that lets all listeners know that a passion for traditional music yet thrives in every generation.” The dynamic father-son duo pushes the boundaries of the Appalachian tradition by infusing their own brand of driving, innovative, tasteful and unique interpretations of traditional and original fiddle tunes and songs. Performing on hammered dulcimer, fiddles, banjo, gourd banjo, hammered mbira, guitar and banjola, the Kolodners have recorded three CDs (Otter Creek in 2011, Skipping Rocks in 2013, and The Swift House in 2017). They frequently perform with bassist Alex Lacquement (Charm City Junction, The Bumper Jacksons) and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Eddy (The Early Mays).
