Gourd Banjo Concert feat. Brad Kolodner & Alex Lacquement

Join us for an intimate and energetic evening of Old Time, Bluegrass and Roots music at the Green Room with Brad Kolodner and Alex Lacquement—longtime collaborators, old friends and core members of the acclaimed quartet Charm City Junction. This concert celebrates the release of Brad’s new solo gourd banjo album, Old Growth.

Brad Kolodner, known for his driving and melodic clawhammer banjo playing, has carved out a space as one of the leading voices in Old-Time music. Old Growth showcases his unique voice on the gourd banjo, offering a fresh take on traditional tunes and original compositions alike.

Alex Lacquement brings his unmatched versatility and groove on upright bass, weaving effortlessly around Brad’s playing with rhythmic precision and melodic sensitivity. Their years of collaboration shine through every note—they move as one, with an intuitive connection that turns duo performances into something much bigger.

Expect a night of tight grooves, heartfelt tunes, and the kind of musical interplay that only comes from years of playing side by side. The show will feature gourd banjo and bass duets, vocal harmonies and a sprinkling of fiddle and harmonica magic. Come celebrate this new chapter in Brad’s artistic journey—and the enduring friendship at the heart of their sound.

The show will take place at The Green Room in Hampden. Enjoy a full menu of delicious food and drinks while you take in the music. CD and vinyl copies of Old Growth will be available to purchase.
