HONESDALE, PA — The “Duke of Bluegrass,” Louie Setzer, and The Appalachian Mountain Boys return to The Cooperage, 1030 Main St., on Saturday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m. Setzer and The Appalachian Mountain Boys combine traditional bluegrass, country and gospel music with a sound all their own. Known as “The man with Titanium Tonsils,” Setzer is a premier vocalist with a unique vocal styling, heavily influenced by first generation masters Jimmy Martin and Mac Wiseman. Setzer caught the Bluegrass “bug” in his 20s after attending his first festival. “I was so impressed with the fact that there were no electric instruments and the harmony singing blew me away,” says Setzer. “Then I started traveling all over just to find anything to do with bluegrass.”

Joining Setzer at The Cooperage on April 4 will be Jeff Propert on various string instruments, Ron Penska on the upright bass, David Cavage on banjo and Joe Fili on the fiddle.

Donations are collected at the door. The Cooperage is operated by the The Cooperage Project, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that seeks to build community through performance, learning and good times. For more information visit www.thecooperageproject.org or call 570/253-2020.
