Diesel, A Bookstore Presents AVRAM SIEGEL & MIKE WILHOYTE

Every month, banjo and guitar impresario, Avram Siegel, brings his legendary musical chops to DIESEL in a series of musical performances with local and traveling musicians. This month he is joined by the creative traditional guitarist, Mike Wilhoyte.

Please note: There is a $10 cover charge to attend this event and all proceeds go to the musicians, who deserve it. The doors open at 8:30pm and the show starts at 9. Seats fill up fast so get here early!

Avram Siegel is a banjo player with a local bluegrass band, the Faultliners. He teaches regularly at the Freight and Salvage in Berkely, and is an occasional banjo instructor at CBA Bluegrass Camp. He has been teaching bluegrass ensemble/jam classes for many years and has performed with numerous bands including Kathy Kallick Band, True Blue, the Grant Street String Band, the Vern Williams Band, and Peter Rowan.

Mike Wilhoyte is one of the most exciting and high-energy bluegrass guitartists around. He has played with several bluegrass bands, but this is a rare opportunity to hear him in a more intimate setting, in typical Diesel fashion, with just the banjo and the guitar (he’s also quite a fine singer).
