“To come out to an actual live performance, I think, just does so much for that ambition to want to further your studies and interest in the instrument or your art.” -John Parrendo

Lincoln Park Arts will be presenting “Fiddle In The Box” featuring violinist John Parrendo at the BlackBox Theater this Thursday, October 20 at 7:00 PM. The show is part of Lincoln Park’s “In The Box” series, which features smaller music combos and groups for a more intimate performance.

“We’ve had jazz, Latin, country-rock…all different varieties of things,” spoke Eric DeFade about the BlackBox Theater. “It’s an amazing venue that can be converted from regular concert seating to a venue with tables and a bar in the back…kind of like an instant pop-up nightclub.”

DeFade joined Parrendo to discuss “Fiddle In The Box” on the October 17 edition of A.M. Beaver County; a show that Parrendo describes as a show with much variety. “This Thursday, you’re going to hear a little bit of everything,” he stated. “Pop, rock, country, jazz, instrumental…it’s not just going to be fiddle, but violin and some of the music I’ve played over the years including music from some of the artists that have inspired me over the years that I’ve been playing.” Parrendo hinted at the songs spanning “from Frank Sinatra to Dave Matthews” and hinted that there may be a Charlie Daniels song or two scattered into the evening’s repertoire.
