Bower Community Concert Series
What is “Contagious Folk ’n’ Roll?” Most easily summed up in three traditional genre buckets as: Rock, Jazz and Celtic, but you'll definitely hear other styles in the mix like Bluegrass, Klezmer, Appalachian Folk, Black Gospel, Soul, Classical and Americana. Essentially, every song Fritz Schindler Band plays has been “Fritzified:” That intangible, musically-inventive pixie dust that Schindler leaves as a fingerprint on every tune he touches and on audiences' hearts as well.
Fritz Schindler Band makes fantastic music together for your audience and everybody has a fun, memorable time! Your audience is sure to love their crowd-pleasing, energetic, shape-shifting "Contagious Folk 'n' Roll" sound. They are a clean, fun-loving and talented group whose music is enjoyed by all ages.
With Fritz at the helm singing while playing a myriad of instruments--mandolin, banjo, hammered dulcimer, guitar or bouzouki surrounded by bandmates providing electric guitar, fiddle, saxophone, keys, flute, drums and bass—each song heads in a different direction from the one before as they take listeners on a musical journey through re-imagined renditions of old favorites and exciting new original songs.
Bower Center for the Arts is fully handicap accessible, ensuring an inclusive and welcoming experience for all visitors.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door
