Jewgrass: The Appalachians Meet the Carpathians
5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, 92182
Cost: Free
The Jewish Studies Program at SDSU presents Jewgrass: the Appalachians meet the Carpathians. The concert, featuring Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi with guest mandolinist Barry Mitterhoff, will perform “mountain music” from the klezmer of the Carpathian Ukraine to old-time Americana from Appalachia. Both traditions, born in isolated and rural mountain communities, meld together spirituality, culture, and geography. Musicians include Jeff Pekarek, Duncan Moore, Walt Richards, Fred Benedetti, Tripp Sprague, and Elizabeth Schwartz.
