Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman at The Jackson Theatre

About this event

Join us at the Jackson Theatre on Sunday, November 15th at 7pm for Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman. Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman are world-renowned multi-instrumentalists and vocalists whose mutual love of the history, stories, and significance behind the music they play is apparent as they romp through an energetic and engaging set of acoustic blues, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley pop songs, 1920s jazz, twin fiddle hoe-downs, and original songs and compositions. The duo were artists-in-residence at Symphony Space in New York City for the 2024-2025 season and recently released their first full-length duo recording, Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman. As a soloist, Paxton is a Smithsonian Folkways recording artist, mainstay of the international blues festival circuit, and former artistic director of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival. Lichtman is a master of the clarinet, mandolin, and fiddle whole performance and recording credits include David Byrne, Pokey LaFarge, HBO’s Succession and The Plot Against American, Jim Kweskin, and his own solo projects.
