Buy tickets here or visit any Bull Moose Music location. No, it's not a ukulele. No, it's not a mini-guitar. It's a mandolin, an eight-stringed loud-mouth of an instrument with a long history in folk, pop, bluegrass, even heavy rock and metal, and if you've ever wanted to see it put through its paces, now's your chance. From a six-piece mandolin orchestra to the legendary Al Hawkes Trio to performances by mandolin players from Jerks of Grass, theTricky Britches, the Grassholes, the Intergalactic Yurt Band, and more, this is a show not to be missed by any true acoustic-music fan. In an unprecedented partnership, The Portland Symphony Orchestra joins withPortland Ovations and Space Gallery for an entire weekend dedicated to celebrating the art and sound of the mandolin, in all its various forms and styles. As part of Mandolin Madness, present your ticket from either PSO or Ovations shows at SPACE and save $2!
