MICK KINNEY & FRIENDS

MICK KINNEY & FRIENDS

Mick Kinney, eclectic lyricist and composer, is guaranteed to be as unpredictable as ever with a variety of genres and instrumental combinations. Accompanied by versatile bandmate & son Evan Kinney, the show is sure to include many favorite influences such as Honky Tonk piano, Cajun squeezebox, Celtic-Appalachian fiddle, as well as contemporary songcraft wordplay!

Mick will be collaborating with some artists from past and recent projects:

  • The Pajama Katz, New Orleans style house band for the evening, includes spectacular clarinet and saxophone by Eric Fontaine, along with subtle and soaring cornet by Matt Phillips.
  • Kanikapila features Carol Lei-Price from Hawaii, member of the Hula group Halau O Manoa which has toured folk festivals from Alaska to Paris as cultural ambassadors. Carol was raised singing in the native island language, playing ukulele, and dancing Hula! She will be joined by maestro Frank Hamilton on vocals and soprano uke, with Mick on lap steel slide guitar. 
  • Colombian singer Teresa Ducuarahas been on the Atlanta Latin music scene since 1998, and her repertoire reflects her own Indigenous Afro-Caribbean heritage. From ancient Cumbias to classic boleros and Salsa, Teresa’s expressive voice and stage presence are always enchanting!
  • Tray Dahl, well known for theatrical shows with The Jugtime Ragband, never fails to deliver her brand of bawdy banter, raucous banjo, and growling barrelhouse songs of the early 20th century. In addition to rousing Charleston era material, she includes some of her own original numbers in vintage swinging ragtime style.
