Folknet Presents Bill Lestock

Bill Lestock plays original instrumental mandolin music, a compelling blend of bluegrass, old time, baroque and blues, perhaps best defined as “Modern Acoustic” music. It’s a deeply profound sound inspired from both the outside world and inside focus, woven from several walks of life. A firefighter in the city of Cleveland Ohio for 33 years, Bill incorporates melodies and imagery from a life and culture of firefighting. Celebrated songwriter Matt Harmon will do an opening set.
