Society Hall is excited to welcome High Desert Acoustic Duo, featuring cellist Mark Dudrow and fiddler Justin Dean, on Friday, Feb. 7. 

Doors at 400 Ross Ave. in Alamosa will open at 6 p.m. with the show beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available online at www.societyhall.org or in Alamosa at The Green Spot, 711 State Ave. The concert will also stream live on the Society Hall Facebook page and You-Tube channel. 

High Desert Acoustic Duo is a musical collaboration of cello, fiddle, guitar and vocals from a broad range of traditions as well as original songs. Cellist Dudrow is well known and much admired for his virtuosic playing in many regional ensembles and accompanying many artists, and Dean is an equally accomplished fiddler, and veteran of many musical adventures and projects around his northern New Mexico home. 

For more than 20 years Dudrow and Dean have entertained audiences along the upper Rio Grande. Their unique blend of songwriting and tunes draws inspiration from all points on the musical map and also from the raw rugged beauty of the landscape around them. 

The Duo specializes in live performances and the connection that happens in the moment with an audience, so unless you happen to catch a live show at a brewpub, local benefit, farmer’s market or backcountry wedding you are more likely to find them hiking, skiing, harvesting firewood or floating in the backcountry than on YouTube! 

They are known for performances that manage to be both tight and polished and yet delightfully improvisational, displaying both members' wonderful instrumental skills. As Salida music promoter Clark T. Roberts says, “These guys aren’t serious, but they’re seriously good!” 

The board of Society Hall, a 501c-3 non-profit organization, invites you to another wonderful musical evening with Mark Dudrow and Justin Dean, aka High Desert Acoustic duo, Friday, Feb. 7, at 7:00 pm. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available online at www.societyhall.org, or in Alamosa at the Green Spot. Society Hall.
