Arts Alive Presents Rizzetta’s Tones

4 PM SUNDAY, NOV 5 IN THE SANCTUARY • FREE WILL OFFERING

Rizzetta’s Tones is a Celtic Americana band comprised of ‘fraternal twin’ hammer dulcimers, silver flute, high and low whistles, guitar, bass guitar, plus alto and bass melodions. Their sound is often spiced up with button accordion, Greek bouzouki, mandolin, autoharp, ukulele, as well as bodhran, djembe, and other percussion instruments (yes, even three frogs!)

Band members Randy Kochel, Amanda Wells, Linda Lohr, Bill Stine and Jared McDonald sing lead and backing vocals on songs poignant and humorous. Repertoire includes music from Ireland, Scotland, and the USA, drawing as well from the traditions of other lands. 

Forging new arrangements and writing their own material, the ensemble presents audiences with a pleasing twist while respecting musical traditions. Members have previously performed and recorded with Gladly Playe Wyth Stryngs, From the Well, Fargo Wagon, and Crofter’s Heir. Get ready for a journey of exciting instrumental and vocal experiences!
