Pre-Folk Jam: 6:45 PM First Half: 7:30 PM Second Half: 9:00 PM

After recording and playing separately for more than 45 years, Mike Ballantyne and Rick Van Krugel have joined forces to form the vibrant, and dynamic, ragtime blues duo The Hokum Steamers.

These seasoned entertainers deliver good-time, authentic and definitive renditions of 1920s & 1930s ragtime blues, hokum, jug band songs and gospel, and give their songs historical place, time and context.

It’s great fun, and wholesome music, suitable for all.

Mike accompanies his warm, rich, bass-baritone voice with dexterous playing of both 6 and 12-string guitars; Rick is a master musician who plays a wide variety of mandolins. He also sings, interjects and plays guitar.
