Charm City Junction
- acoustic 'roots' quartet from Baltimore, they have a fresh take on the traditional music genres. Patrick McAvinue (fiddle & mandolin), Brad Kolodner (clawhammer banjo - taught some workshops at the recent Fiddle Hell!), Sean McComiskey (button accordion), Alex Lacquement (dbl bass). I really like that they give Alex some time to shine.
I happened upon their music when searching for a recording of 'Once Upon A Time In Beara' (link is to notation) - so I'll start learning it.
Quite a few other tunes on their albums caught my ear... 'Farewell Tennessee', was one.
There's some great Charm City Junction live videos on YT, plus their albums:
Btw, Brad's father (Ken) plays the fiddle & hammered dulcimer. More about their playing - Brad and Ken Kolodnor.
My rabbit hole also led me to the 'Walking Stones Album Playlist' - Laura Risk (fiddle - taught workshops at the recent Fiddle Hell) and Robin Bullock (guitar, mandolin, cittern) both balance out Ken Kolodnor's playing. 31 very enjoyable tracks!

Those are great!. Brad was palying with George Jackson in town one night not long ago and I was able to a copy up. Those two put on a good show. Great music!

Ah HA!
Was wondering what 'Charm City Junction' fiddler, Patrick McAvine had been up to lately...
What a FABULOUS job to have in the Navy!!!
Geez, I have to get back working on Once Upon a Time in Beara... never got it memorized!!! 😞
...just have to throw in this older video of Patrick playing with 'Uncle Baltimore'.
A Bill Monroe tune, 'Northern White Clouds' - LOVE IT!
