Mike Agranoff at the Cranberry Coffeehouse

Mike Agranoff is one of those folk performers that steadfastly defies categorization, and yet amasses stalwart fans from folk aficionados of all categories. He draws his material from sources as diverse as traditional ballads and fiddle tunes, Tin Pan Alley, contemporaries in the Folk World, and his own witty pen. He delivers it with a skilled hand on guitar and English concertina, and an almost telepathic transmittal of the essence of the song, and occasionally a sly twinkle in the eye in anticipation of some of the most horrible parodies ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting audience. A signature feature of Mike’s performances are his inclusion of some heart-stopping spoken word pieces that rivet the listener to unforgettable stories.
allen says: Mike (who last performed here in 2012) was my introduction to folk music when I was a rock-and-roll playing college student back in the 1980’s. His mesmerizing mix of traditional music, spoken-word tales, contemporary singer-songwriter tunes, and more (even Bach on the concertina!), combined with his extraordinary talent on multiple instruments, convinced me to ditch the amplifier and permanently dedicate myself to performing folk and traditional music. I’m excited to be able to bring him back to the Cranberry!
