Since 2019, the duo has toured across the United States and internationally, and they served as artists-in-residence at New York City’s Symphony Space for the 2024-25 season. They released their first duo album in 2021.Jerron Paxton is highly talented on banjo, guitar, harmonica, vocals, fiddle, and piano. He is a brilliant interpreter of many styles of Black folk music, including stride piano jazz from New Orleans to New York, deep blues on guitar and harmonica, rural music played on fiddle and banjo; ragtime, and other turn-of-the-century forms. He transports his audiences not only to a different time, but to a state of mind. Paxton has researched, recovered, and recorded rare music dating back to the Civil War for the Smithsonian Folkways label.Dennis Lichtman is a world-traveling bandleader, best known for running the famed trad-jazz jam sessions at Mona’s Bar in New York City since 2007. The Wall Street Journal described these sessions as “ground zero for an emerging late-night scene of young traditional jazz and swing players.” Lichtman is a masterful multi-instrumentalist, playing clarinet, mandolin, violin, and more. He has toured and recorded with David Byrne, The Lovestruck Balladeers, Pokey LaFarge, Ghost Train Orchestra, Jim Kweskin, and his own projects, The Brain Cloud and Mona’s Hot Four.Paxton and Lichtman share a mutual love of the history, stories, and significance behind the music they play. Their energetic sets feature acoustic blues, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley pop songs, 1920s jazz, twin fiddle hoe-downs, and original songs and compositions. This is roots music in the true sense of the word, performed by two extraordinary musicians and storytellers.“[Paxton]’s a walking, talking jukebox, a gifted songwriter, and a genuine inheritor of the traditions that define roots music…With a twinkle in his eye and a sly sense of humour, Paxton mixes reverence with playfulness. His live shows are as full of charm and storytelling as they are of virtuosic banjo, guitar, piano and fiddle playing. –Blues Matters“[Paxton and Lichtman] performed two sets of music, seamlessly alternating instruments and demonstrating a deep understanding and passion for vintage tunes composed 80 to 130 years ago.” –New Pine Plains Herald https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8d051510-bf1e-11f0-bd69-2fb70445d7e4-rimg-w1047-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Visit to learn about The Folkus Project and our other shows. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/syracuse/jerron-paxton-and-dennis-lichtman/100001964574017772 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, pop, live-music, art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 22, max: 25, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Syracuse - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society - **lat**: 43.039702 - **long**: -76.0821836 - **full address**: May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, 3800 East Genesee Street, Syracuse, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/106d2173c470492961e5632d9e54f33219e8dc682e601a30675ac36232df0c06-rimg-w1200-h1200-dc040406-gmir.jpg?v=1762879841 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman being held? - **A:** Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman takes place on Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 pm at May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, 3800 East Genesee Street, Syracuse, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman? - **A:** Ticket prices for Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman range from USD 22 to USD 25 depending on the ticket type.
