St. Alban's Episcopal Church, 1501 Washington Avenue, Albany, CA 94706

Open mic origins to local stages with Folk-rooted storytelling, emotion &amp; exploration.Have you ever heard a Swedish Nyckelharpa? Here's your chance!&nbsp;If a Tree Falls is a Berkeley-based folk trio featuring Mark Walstrom and daughter Jennie Walstrom - who together do that epic Everly brothers&nbsp; harmonizing - along with musical pal Bernie Lenhoff.&nbsp; Together they play the nyckelharpa, the dobro, guitar, and mandolin and sing beautiful traditional songs. Many know Mark through his work at his shop, Timbre Folk &amp; Baroque, where he sells and repairs stringed instruments. The trio are regulars at the HOOT!"The sound this trio makes isn't heard, it's felt - like a pang of love, or longing, or loss. And their alchemy not only carries you through such emotions, but leaves you in a place somewhere beyond them. This is sound that purifies." - JxoA nyckelharpa has 16 strings: 3 melody strings, one drone string, and 12 sympathetic vibration (or resonance) strings. It has about 37 wooden keys arranged to slide under the strings. Each key has a tangent that reaches up and stops (frets) a string to make a particular note. The player uses a short bow with the right hand, and pushes on the keys with the left. It has a 3 octave range (from the same low "G" as a fiddle's 4th string) and sounds something like a fiddle, only with lots more resonance.Bernie Lenhoff (Guitar, dobro, voice)Mark Walstrom (Guitar, mandolin, nyckelharpa, voice)Jennie Walstrom (voice, nyckelharpa)$15-$30.Presented by Calliope: East Bay Music &amp; Arts
