Walt Michael Concert in Chincoteague August 19
The Chincoteague Cultural Alliance presents Walt Michael in concert at 8 p.m. Wednesday, August 19 at the Senior Center in downtown Chincoteague.
Walt Michael’s various musical incarnations have spanned over 37 years and taken him from the coal camps of Appalachia to the White House to the Closing Ceremonies of the 13th Olympic Winter Games.
Considered to be a virtuoso of tremendous influence in the revival of the hammered dulcimer, Walt’s wide repertoire ranges from old-time Southern Appalachian, to Celtic, to breath-taking original compositions. As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, he has recorded fourteen albums and instructional videos, appeared at the Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and toured extensively throughout the US, Canada, Europe and the UK. His music has been heard on ABC-TV, NBC’s Tonight Show, Broadway, BBC, TNN, CBC, OLN and PBS.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets are available at the door and online at www.chincoteagueculturalalliance.org. Click on Music and look for Chincoteague Unplugged.
