WELLSBORO — The nationally renowned musicians of Charm City Junction are the highlight of the Wellsboro Community Concert Association’s third concert of the 2022-23 season, according to a recent press release.

The quartet will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, in the Coolidge Theatre at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main St., Wellsboro.

Special guest Ken Kolodner, renowned hammered dulcimer player and old-time fiddler, will perform as well, the release said.

Charm City Junction will perform songs from their several albums, including holiday tunes.

“From dance inducing old-time rhythms to foot stomping Irish melodies and hard-driving bluegrass, the Baltimore-based quartet of Patrick McAvinue on fiddle, Brad Kolodner on clawhammer banjo, Sean McComiskey on button accordion and Alex Lacquement on upright bass are blazing new trails in acoustic roots music while keeping an eye on tradition,” the press release said.

Since forming in 2014, Charm City Junction has “taken the acoustic music scene by storm, performing around the country and garnering national attention and praise for their high-energy, captivating and dynamic performances,” the release said.

Called “phenomenal instrumentalists” and “excellent singers,” these top-notch musicians not only draw on their separate musical backgrounds as a bluegrass fiddler, old-time banjo picker, Celtic accordionist and jazz bassist but have also found common ground on which to develop their own unique approach, according to the press release.

Described as “refreshing” and “smartly done,” Charm City’s self-titled debut album released in the fall of 2015.

The album is a mix of its musician’s styles, beginning with a lively take on Bill Monroe’s “Frog On A Lily Pad” and continuing with “Margaret’s Waltz” from Pat Shaw, Anders Osborne’s “I’ve Got A Woman,” “The Torn Jacket” from Connie O’Connell and Ian Stephenson’s “Return from Helsinki,” the release said.

The other nine tracks are traditional, such as the old-time classic “Last Chance,” and Irish tunes like Joe Bane’s “Barndance.”

The group released its second full-length album, “Duckpin,” in the summer of 2018. It debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Bluegrass charts, according to the press release.

Charm City’s third album, “Snowball,” was released in 2019 and includes holiday favorites such as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “We Three Kings” and “Silent Night” along with “Jingle Bells/Breaking up Christmas.”

Children 12 and under accompanied by a paying adult are admitted free.

Admission per student, 13 to 18, is $5 and $25 per adult for the Charm City Junction concert.
