| Description: |
The Folk 'n' Roll Christmas Tour presents its Roanoke Concert featuring the Fritz Schindler Band at The Spot on Kirk in Roanoke, VA on Saturday, December 2, 2017. It's the Folk 'n' Roll Christmas Tour! A fantastic, affordable concert for you to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Enjoy music from the Fritz Schindler Band with special guests Roanoke's very own The Antecedents. These delightfully talented bands will take you on a creative holiday folk-rock music journey and help get you in the Christmas spirit! Now in its third year, the Folk 'n' Roll Christmas Tour is great for everyone from 4 years old to 94. Fritz Schindler is a whirlwind of musical enthusiasm. His energetic live shows combine him playing a vast array of traditional Appalachian instruments—mandolin, guitar, hammered dulcimer, bouzouki, banjo, percussion—along with his versatile singing voice and occasionally a few friends. Frequently added into the mix are live-looping and layering techniques, combined together to make a unique and spell-binding experience we like to call Contagious Folk ‘n’ Roll. Over the years, Fritz has shared the stage with such notable acts as Hawk Nelson, The Vespers, Raymond & Ruth McLain, The New Coon Creek Girls, Nevertheless, BlueTree, Ilia, The Afters, and 7eventh Time Down. In 2014 Fritz began touring with a full backing band, playing concerts, churches, and festivals in Tennessee, West Virginia, and his home states of Virginia and Kentucky. In 2015, Fritz hit the road again with his talented backing band, The Saucy Fellows, as well as playing a few solo shows, both featuring more instrumental songs, live-looping, and as always, the signature smile and warm enthusiasm he brings to every stage. No matter your age or musical preference, within a few short minutes, Fritz Schindler will have your toes tapping, hands clapping, and before you know it, you’ll probably find yourself singing or dancing along… Links: • http://www.fritzschindler.com • https://www.facebook.com/fritzschindler • https://www.twitter.com/fritzschindler • https://www.youtube.com/user/fritzschindler/videos The Antecedents are a heartfelt American roots, rock ‘n roll band from the mountains of Appalachia in Southwest Virginia.
