Mike Agranoff--POSTPONED DUE TO SNOW (Special Event)

Due to the snow forecast for this Saturday, this concert is postponed.The tentative replacement date is May 14, 2005. Details will be posted here once they are worked out."The very model of a modern folk musician."What Mike Agranoff does as a folk musician is a rather difficult question to answer. He plays a superb fingerstyle guitar in idioms ranging from ancient harp tunes to obscure Tin-Pan-Alley compositions. His concertina arrangements of music by anyone from Bach to Berryman's may be haunting, complex, exciting, but are, above all, musical.Of course, if you've been around the folk scene at all in the Northeast, you've probably seen him. He's that tall guy with the reddish beard going grey and funny hat with the light in it. And when the music starts, he's in the middle, adding to the chorus and probably knowing all the lines. His repertoire is not only varied, but vast.Mike is not only a collector of songs and a master at arranging them, but is also a writer of songs and recitations. He has a keen ear for the best of the best, and this only enhances his own writing. If you're sick of the endless stream of singer songwriters who write for the market, you will find Mike to be a refreshing alternative. He makes us laugh, cry and think, all the while entertaining us long into any evening of music. Because one of the few things Mike likes to do more than sing is to get other people to share their songs, the concert portion of the evening wil be followed by a sing-around. Bring songs to share!
