Colvin Concerts: Jutta & The Hi-Dukes

Wolves, rabbits, ravens, and nightingales abound in this magical tour of world music that includes Balkan, Gypsy, Klezmer, Scandinavian, French, Dixieland, Greek music, and more. This trio of eclectic troubadours paint powerful pictures in their own colorful way on mandolin, kaval, violin, guitar, accordion, and percussion with two to three singing voices. The band tours internationally and their ever-changing spectrum of sound transports souls of all ages across cultural borders. Terry Loncaric, an Illinois entertainment writer and poet, wrote, “Their artistry and sense of musical history is infused in their delicious tracks. I like [their] intelligent approach to music as well as the old world flavor of what [they] do.” If you have not yet experienced this group, make sure to catch them to find out why a music reviewer wrote “[Their] music is exciting and listeners will find it hard to keep from leaping up to dance” and why Earwig Music Company's Michael Frank decided to sign them as his Blues label's first world music act saying, “I imagine you will find Jutta & the Hi-Dukes as exciting as I do!” Jutta Distler - mandolin, violin, guitar, vocals Terran Doehrer - Bulgarian end-blown flute, guitar, percussion, vocals George Petrov - Tupan (Bulgarian double-headed drum), accordion, kaval, vocals Check out the band at [hidden] and [hidden] - [hidden] reserve a ticket through Eventbrite to help us anticipate the size of our audience for this concert.
