Description:
Rising Silo Farm Brewery presents Pairdown, Mike Gangloff and Solar Hex in concert on Thursday, February 15, 2024.

Veteran Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, folk rock duo Pairdown bring hot picking, harmony singing, original songs and a healthy dose of ragtime. Local fiddler Mike Gangloff bows up a free Appalachian mix of the traditional and less so and Solar Hex offers a cello and harmonium meditation for the day after Valentine's.

Fiddler Mike Gangloff (Ironto) plays free Appalachian music that weaves together improvisation, melodic composition, and traditional tunes learned from older players in a region around his home in Southwest Virginia. He often performs solo on hardanger-style and octave fiddles, as well as in duos, including this year with UK guitarist C Joynes, with Prices Fork cellist Kaily Schenker, and with fellow Black Twig Pickers guitarist and banjoist Isak Howell. Besides the Black Twigs, Mike is a founding member of Pelt and Eight Point Star.

Solar Hex, based in Blacksburg, VA, performs venerable cello and vocal concoctions from the house on chicken legs deep in the hollow.

Currently focused on exploring color and tone, and the ways in which the sound of an acoustic cello can be stretched and extended.
