Dakota Dave Hull and Kari Larson

Dakota Dave Hull and Kari Larson make an extremely rare duo appearance with their very special holiday show. Their acclaimed Christmas album, "The Goose is Getting Fat" has been hailed by critics and fans alike.

"Dakota Dave Hull and Kari Larson have created an airy celebration of strings and wood that provides relief from canine choruses of "Jingle Bells" and holiday Muzak. They intersperse gems from Finland, Ireland, and Italy with more familiar titles, and the sounds they create on ukulele, mandolin, and archtop, flattop, Weissenborn, tenor, National, and piccolo guitars range from intimate and reverential to swingy and playful."- Ben Elder, Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Dakota Dave Hull and Kari Larson practically define the art of the guitar duet. And when they're not both playing guitar--when, for instance, Dave's on ukulele and Kari's on mandolin--they're creating and defining a whole other kind of sound. Whatever the stringed instruments they happen to be holding at any given moment, the music that flows out of them is of the kind only the hands of masters could have released. Or as Flatpicking Guitar Magazine puts it, "They enter each musical room, decorate it beautifully, and then they live in it, bringing the music to life from the inside."

Hull and Larson's musical mansion has many rooms, reflecting their encyclopedic knowledge - and command - of folk, pop, world, jazz, and classical musics. All of this is played on a variety of vintage instruments, including acoustic arch-top guitars (of which they are among the few remaining practitioners). They also play National resophonic instruments and, of course, flat-top guitars. They'll be playing tunes from the album, a few from their other albums along with some new (to them) songs.

If you only make it to one Christmas show this year, this should be the one!
