Price: $20 regular, $17 Folkus members
May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

The areas favorite guitar duo ... plus one!

Loren and Mark's varied repertoire of original and arranged songs gives them wide appeal. Their music is influenced by bluegrass, jazz, and old-time/country; their style of guitar playing is largely built upon the thumb-picking techniques pioneered by guitar greats Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed, and their songs feature Loren's superb vocals and some beautiful harmonies from Mark.

As you may know, Loren Barrigar suffered a severe chainsaw injury to his left arm in October of 2019. While undergoing a lengthy recuperation, he will continue to perform by lending his vocals and personality to the show. Katie Martucci will be joining Loren and Mark to help create the type of repertoire and quality of the Loren and Mark show, and add her own unique musical talents to the show.

Martucci is a performer (singer, guitarist & violinist), bandleader, composer and teacher living in Brooklyn. Since graduating from the New England Conservatory in 2016, Martucci toured the United States with her trio The Ladles, founded the Tucci Swing Orchestra, released several solo recordings, and scored the National Geographic film "Glen Canyon Rediscovered."
