Ben Rudnick and Friends
Ben Rudnick’s band hits the stage with family friendly music featuring instantly hum-able, original songs and fun spins on well known traditional tunes! Collective high level musicianship results in unique acoustic sounds, ranging from light folk to bluegrass, calypso, and rock that will have kids, parents and grandparents singing and swinging along. The Washington Post says in refusing to pander by making children's music, Ben Rudnick and Friends put out “sophisticated melodies, precise instrumentation and witty lyrics that delight the entire family."

Sun, Apr 6th, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
