FORKAPALOOZA is celebrating its 20TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR!!We're going BIG with an INSANE line-up for you to come party with us :)
Some local love with Terry Brown Ascension Project and Phat Anchovies...
Then, to wrap up this amazing night, we've got the heavy hitters Jon Stickley Trio and Larry Keel and Jon Stickley DUO!!
The Larry Keel & Jon Stickley Duo features two of the finest flatpicking guitarists of this generation. Both share a
lifelong love of acoustic bluegrass guitar music made famous by influential duets Doc and Merle Watson, and Tony
Rice and Norman Blake. Keel, Stickley, and other modern flatpickers like Billy Strings grew up studying these
legends. These masters were role models who provided inspiration to both Larry and Jon to pursue careers as
professional guitar players. Each has gone on to pioneer his own distinct interpretation of the bluegrass artform, as
well as fusing genres from roots, jazz, prog, and beyond. Now, Keel and Stickley have themselves become new
masters of acoustic guitar. With this act, the two celebrate the pure joy of playing acoustic guitar music as a duo,
effortlessly complementing each other’s rhythm and lead playing while never losing their own individual
personality. Their sophisticated and awe-inspiring performances suit an array of venues including festival stages,
listening rooms, private functions, and nightclubs. At the core of the Keel/Stickley Duo is an intimate conversation
between two guitars and voices, done with superior skill and taste, with more than a hint of explosive late-nightjam vibe.
