Colvin Concerts: Jutta & the Hi-Dukes

Come warm your heart with a delightful selection of love songs from around the world that includes red apples, burning flax, frying fish (really?!!), and, of course, red roses.

These eclectic Evanston-based troubadours of ethnic music duet play everything from medieval Danish songs to Danubian grooves, painting powerful pictures in their own colorful way on mandolin, Bulgarian flute, guitar, and percussion accompanied by one to two singing voices. Wolves and rabbits, ravens and nightingales all abound in this magical tour of world music that includes Balkan, Gypsy, Klezmer, and Greek music. 

The duet tours internationally and their ever-changing spectrum of sound transports souls of all ages across cultural borders. Terry Loncaric, an Illinois entertainment writer and poet, wrote, “Their artistry and sense of musical history is infused in their delicious tracks. I like [their] intelligent approach to music as well as the old world flavor of what [they] do.”

If you have not yet experienced this group, come and discover why a music reviewer wrote “[Their] music is exciting and listeners will find it hard to keep from leaping up to dance” and why Earwig Music Company's Michael Frank decided to sign them as his Blues label's first world music act saying, “I imagine you will find Jutta & the Hi-Dukes as exciting as I do!”
