Sinner’s Friend is a five-piece string and percussion band that merges the old and new with fiddle tunes and traditional songs from the past, along with recent covers and original material. 
Sinner’s sound evokes a cross-cultural mix that will surprise and engage the audience and expand their listening experience. The backbeat of tablas and percussive elements add a rhythmic sound making the sound unique. 
Formed over a decade ago, Sinner’s Friend are Claire Halpin (fiddle, vocals) Aron Packer (banjo, vocals) Michael Dinges (guitar) Quinn Kearney (tablas) and Paul Zimmermann (percussion and vocals).

For the opening set, come see the collaborative recital of multimedia artist Spencer Hutchinson's experimental sound piece, "On Second Thought", a sonic interpretation of Marcel Duchamp's famous stool with a bicycle wheel utilizing an oscillating fan and a professional violinist whose name happens to be Tim Hager.
