Joseph Decosimo

Doors open @ 7:00 pm Join us on May 5th for an unforgettable evening of music that celebrates the beauty, vitality, and enduring power of Appalachian heritage with Joseph Decosimo. Doors open at 7pm, and the show begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are $25, and we promise an experience that will stay with you long after the final note fades. A leading interpreter of the fiddle, banjo, and song traditions from the Appalachian South, Joseph Decosimo has introduced audiences around the world to the beauty and vitality of the region’s music. He has contributed ethereal fiddle and banjo to projects from fellow Durhamites Hiss Golden Messenger, Jake Xerxes Fussell, and Wye Oak. Drawing on decades of study with some of the last great traditional musicians in Southern Appalachia, he conjures inviting, minimalist, enveloping sounds from rare old ballads and snaking instrumentals. While deeply rooted, his performances are imminently accessible. It's fiddle and banjo music for people who don't like fiddle and banjo music.
