Thu 9/22 @ 8PM
Baldwin Wallace University is hosting a World Music Series, which starts tonight with Shotgun Wedding. Its members are working professional musicians out of New York City who have played with such acts as Billy Joel, Hall & Oates, Brian May, Shania Twain and Chaka Khan.
But the group — guitarist/vocalist/bandleader Dennis DelGaudio, vocalist Catherine Porter, pianist/vocalist Wade Preston, bassist/vocalist Andy Cichon and drummer Chuck Burgi — has an affinity for country, alt-country, Americana and god old rock & roll, distinguished with their four-part vocal harmonies. Earlier this year, they released their debut album, South of Somewhere.
Opening for them at the Student Activities Center will be Front Porch, a band comprising members of the BW faculty who perform old-time, mountain folk and bluegrass. The concert is free and open to the public.
