Sunday, March 12
ArtRat Gallery hosts virtuoso banjo player and fiddler Aaron Jonah Lewis at Americana Sundays, ArtRat’s monthly concert series. The show runs 3-5 p.m. at 46 Division Ave. S. in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids.
The classically trained Detroit resident has been elbow-deep in traditional American music since their first lessons at the age of five with Kentucky native Robert Oppelt. Their concerts take audiences on a journey through the back roads of American old time and folk music, with detours through ragtime and early jazz. Admission $20; tickets available at Eventbrite. More information available on the ArtRat Gallery website.
