Helicon: Winter Solstice – bluegrass and folk for Christmas and beyond

Ken Kolodner | Robin Bullock | Chris Norman

Ken & Brad Kolodner Quartet with Rachel Eddy | Charm City Junction

with Scottish National Fiddle Champion Elke Baker and 6-time North American Step Dance Champ Jonathon Srour

The rhythms and tunes of the Irish musical canon have sojourned all over the world, but most especially to the mountains and hills of the American South and Midwest. These cultural standard bearers continue to carry such traditions into the modern day, and we are thrilled to welcome back the Baltimore-based supergroup Helicon and its cadre of guests for a warm salute to this cherished heritage. Band leader Ken Kolodner brings his incredible team to the Dumbarton stage for their annual program of bluegrass and folk music for the winter season. From rollicking dances to heartwarming ballads, join us to celebrate the coming of a new year.
