Join us at the Jackson Theatre as we partner with the ETSU Departments of Bluegrass, Old Time & Roots Music and Media & Communication to present Banjo Romantika:10-year Anniversary Screening & Concert. BANJO ROMANTIKA introduces the musicians who play this unique bluegrass hybrid. Czechs first heard bluegrass during World War II when the Armed Forces Network broadcast American music for soldiers. The music represented freedom to dissatisfied Czechs living in a communist state. Czechs’ love for the music was solidified when Pete Seeger visited and performed in 1964. Inspired by classic American bluegrass sounds, an assortment of musicians from across the formerly communist Czech Republic have melded the past, the political and the present into a lively musical tradition entirely its own. https://www.banjoromantika.com/ Pay What You Can tickets available at thejacksontheatre.com.
