Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman Concert
Join us at The Jackson Theatre on Friday, December 19, at 7 p.m. for an evening of music with Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman.
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 deliver an energetic and engaging set of acoustic blues, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley pop songs, 1920s jazz, twin hoe-downs, and original songs and compositions.
The duo was artists-in-residence at Symphony Space in New York City for the 2024–2025 season and recently released their first full-length duo recording, Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman.
As a soloist, Paxton is a Smithsonian Folkways recording artist, a mainstay of the international blues festival circuit, and former artistic director of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival.
Lichtman is a master of the clarinet, mandolin, and fiddle, whose performance and recording credits include collaborations with David Byrne, Pokey LaFarge, HBO’s Succession and The Plot Against America, Jim Kweskin, and his own solo projects.
Don’t miss this special night as two extraordinary musicians bring their depth, history, and talent to the heart of Downtown Jonesborough!
