Tony and Radim met at a jam session in Bay Area, California in 1990. They have been crossing paths at various music festivals and events since that time, though this is the first time they will play a joint concert, which will feature their solo performances as well as duets on variety of instruments.
Tony Furtado – (banjo, slide guitar, cello banjo, baritone ukulele & vocals)
A native of Pleasanton, California, who now makes his home in Portland, OR. The acclaimed and award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, is an acknowledged master of many different styles and sounds. Relix Magazine put it best when writing of Tony’s music, “True talent doesn’t need categories.” From bluegrass to blues, from folk to rock, from banjo to slide guitar, the music of Tony Furtado knows no boundaries.
“Tony Furtado is a major musical force without a doubt. He has his black-belt in voice and bottleneck guitar and his banjo playing scares the crap out of me.”
– David Lindley, musical adventurer
Radim Zenkl – (mandolin, mandola, ukulele, ethnic flutes, didgeridoo & vocals) _ Radim is back with new tunes and a CD to celebrate! ~
A US Mandolin champion, Radim Zenkl redefines the mandolin and its role in music. His style features progressive original and eastern European traditional music flavored with string jazz, new age, bluegrass, flamenco, Celtic, classical and other styles. He has developed a technique where one mandolin sounds like two. He also plays a variety of ethnic flutes from different countries around the world and sings traditional European songs.
“Radim Zenkl has reinvented the mandolin in several different ways!”
- David Grisman
“Imaginative and great.”
– Jerry Garcia
