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 compositions. The duo were artists-in-residence at Symphony Space in New York City for the 2024-25 season and recently released their first full-length duo recording. Paxton and Lichtman's show will be in the Etherredge Center lobby, including light hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.
