A Duo of Duos

Two Michigan-based acoustic duos will take the stage at East Lansing’s University United Methodist Church 7:30 p.m. Friday (Oct. 27) for a concert hosted by Ten Pound Fiddle. 

The Dangling Participles, a Lansing-based duo composed of Tamiko Rothhorn (vocals, cornet, ukulele) and Austin Kaufmann (vocals, guitar, harmonica), offer a diverse setlist ranging from folk and Americana to Latin jazz and blues. Robin Theatre owner Dylan Rogers called the songs “catchy, thoughtful and eclectic.”

Dave Boutette, a one-time garage-rocker, and Kristi Lynn Davis, a former Radio City Rockette, mix American roots music with other popular genres, including folk, blues, swing and classic country. They exude “irrepressible verve and joy” during their performances, according to Wheatland Music Festival coordinator Daniel Bracken. 

Tickets are $20 for the public, $18 for Ten Pound Fiddle Members and $5 for students. They’re available at tenpoundfiddle.org or at the door beginning at 6:30 p.m. the night of the show.
