January’s Coffeehouse at the Walton Theatre sponsored by Music on the Delaware will welcome The Vollmers to the Andrea Retz Paternoster stage Sunday, Jan. 21.
Brian Vollmer and Claire Byrne are a husband and wife team from Binghamton who perform together as The Vollmers. Claire is also a member of the band Driftwood, which will appear on the Walton Theatre Main Stage Feb. 24.
Brian alternates between 3-finger banjo, clawhammer banjo and fiddle and Claire between guitar and fiddle. The Vollmers’ sound encompasses an array of Appalachian music. From hard-driving bluegrass to folk songs and old-timey fiddle tunes, the show is endearing, gritty and heartfelt. This is folk music at its finest, music for the people.
Coffeehouse shows run from 6-8 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month from September – November and January – May. Concerts are free, and desserts plus coffee and tea are available. Donations for Music on the Delaware are appreciated. Zoom reception is available at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84455407805
Future spring 2024 shows include Killdeer Trio (jazz) Feb. 11; John Potocnik and Friends (traditional Irish) March 17; Sloan Wainwright (folk) April 21; and Tune Keepers (traditional fiddle tunes) May 19.
