Folk singers Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan perform as the Milk Carton Kids, a duo known for their flat-picking guitar style and close harmonies. They will combine their formidable talents with singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz at Kentucky Center's Bomhard Theater next Thursday night, October 30 at 8 p.m.
The show is touted as a collaborative performance around a single microphone with the three singers joined by a trio of equally fine instrumentalists: violinist Alex Hargreaves, cellist Nathaniel Smith, and bassist Paul Kowert. Kowert graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia in 2009, only a year behind fellow graduate and current Louisville Orchestra Music Director, Teddy Abrams [4].
The Milk Carton Kids [5] are Grammy-nominated artists who appeared in the TBone Burnett/Coen Brothers concert film documentary, "Another Day/Another Time: Celebrating the Music of 'Inside Llewyn Davis.'" Jarosz's latest release [6], "Build Me Up From Bones," was nominated for 2014 Grammy Awards for both Best Folk Album and Best Americana album. She is also a recent graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music.
If you didn't catch their performance on a recent episode of Austin City Limits, you can get a taste of what to expect in the video posted below.
Tickets are $35 for this All Ages show. Contact the Kentucky Center box office at 1.800.775.7777 or buy tickets online [7].
