The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents Spotlight Night Jersey Edition: Frank & Hank, Liz & Dave, Kathy Moser and Christine DeLeon

Henry Nerenberg and Frank Sole are two gifted and talented guitarists who have explored the breadth and depth of American and world music for decades. If the duet is the most intimate form of artistic collaborations, these two share it in its most precious form – a musical conversation between two longtime friends who have mastered their craft and have a true passion for their music and each other. Frank and Hank’s arrangements are interesting and intricate, their song selections eclectic and edifying, and their manner engaging and warm. But above all, their show is entertaining.
