ful intro led by Fischetti turns into a rhythmic old-world frenzy that allows the band to jam, then into a rollicking, lilting romp that cre- scendos back into the old-world stomp. The band have followed their debut LP with a video for Rigo- letto’s “Wolves on the Balcony,” which flexes their folk muscles as an entrant in NPR’s annual Tiny Desk Contest. While they wait for the results, Pyrenesia will be busy performing in support of Off-Beat Symphony. They will play April 27, Godfrey Daniels, Bethlehem, Pa., with Alex Radus; April 28 at Shad- fest in their hometown of Lambert- ville; May 5 and June 2 at Logan Inn, New Hope; July 13, Black Po- tatoe Music Festival, Clinton; July 27, Little Engine Studio, French- town; Aug. 4, Shippen Manor, Oxford, and Aug. 22, Whittemore Gardens, Lebanon. w Bob Makin is the reporter for Home News & Tribune and a former managing editor of The Aquarian Weekly, which launched this column in 1988.
