Good Morning Bedlam at Garrick Hotel November 10 – 11, Garrick Hotel


Good Morning Bedlam’s show is an ex-

Every song is a unique twist on what is generally dubbed as folk mu- sic. One moment they are blasting through a jubilant bluegrass tune, headbanging and careening around the stage, and in the next, Sophia, their fiddler is dancing the Charles- ton during what can only be described as a modern folk swing dance song.
