This will be a rare event, Opposable Thumbs last performed in the beginning of the new millennium. The group still consists of Wayne Beezley on mandolin and octave mandolin, Rick Sampson on banjo, guitar and mandolin, and Betsy Neil on fiddle, and now comes with a new bass player, Larry Dalton. This is an all-instrumental group featuring well-crafted originals and new acoustic music from favorite new acoustic string bands.
The concert will open with Sampson and Son, Rick Sampson and his son Aric Sampson. Larry Dalton will perform with them as well. Sampson and Son have been performing in the coulee region for 15 years. Their music covers many styles: traditional, contemporary, popular, and originals. Thoughtfully arranged and orchestrated instrumentals (hot pickin’) and Aric’s sweet vocals. Their music pleases younger and not so young audiences. They have fun!
Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Tickets are available through Eventbrite or Hardt’s Music, 115 East 3rd St in Winona.
