Husband and wife team Mark Hanson and Greta Pedersen are, respectively, a Grammy-Award winning guitarist, and Young Audiences’ 2009 National Artist of the Year. Their concerts are memorable affairs, highlighted by blazing fingerpicking, haunting ballads, fun songs and good humor. A  steaming blues fingerpicking tune may segue into a Ray Charles ballad. A stunning version of “Book of Love” (Magnetic Fields/Peter Gabriel) may be followed by Dan Hick’s “How Can I Miss You (When You Won’t Go Away)?”. In all likelihood, there will be some audience participation! Tickets: $25 at Eventbrite and at the door.
