Nitekap In Concert
Ken Horne and Allison Johnson have been joined by Paul Brockman to form NiteKap, a trio of local Bedford musicians who perform an eclectic mix of American folk music. Their stage show spans several centuries and many genres of American folk music. From contemporary americana to sixteenth century Childe ballads, from classic blues to country music standards (and some that ought to be), NiteKAP offers a wide variety of musical styles and arrangements. Allisons' sparkling lead vocals and intricate harmonies blend perfectly with Ken's rich baritone leads and Paul’s tenor accompaniment. Accompanied by Ken on finger style guitar and six string banjo and Paul on fiddle and Bazouki, NiteKap creates an evening of music that is entertaining, inspiring, and always a whole lot of fun.
Join us for a night of musical fun with NiteKAP on Saturday, August 10th from 6-8pm.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
