July
The Welter Brothers
July 4
The Welter Brothers (Corban and Jackson) are scholars of traditional music and practical working musicians. They demonstrate a technical flash that comes from a youth spent jamming at bluegrass festivals, alongside an interest in the folk process and the art of aural storytelling (across many cultures). They have special affinity for eclectic and obscure regional music. As with any sibling duo, their "blood harmony" sets them apart, proving that the "brothers" part isn't just a band name. 
Angel Gadzhev Folk Band 
July 25
The Angel Gadzhev Folk Band is led by arranger, and gadulka performer Angel Gadzhev. The Folk Band plays authentic Bulgarian folk songs from five regions including solo vocal performances demonstrating Bulgarian ornamental singing techniques, and instrumental pieces performed on traditional Bulgarian instruments, including gaida (bagpipe), kaval (flute), gadulka (bowed instrument), and tupan (drum). Performers wear traditional Bulgarian folk costumes specific to their regional styles. Between pieces, ensemble members share cultural context, explain the significance of each dance and song, and, as part of the workshop component, invite audience members to learn basic steps of selected horo dances.
