Craig and Lance Wagner are a father/son multi-instrumental duo. Their music is drawn from a diverse palette: vocal favorites, traditional Irish fiddle tunes, folk instrumentals, and up-beat jazz piano standards.
Craig Wagner is a pianist, singer, and hammered dulcimer player (an ancient folk stringed instrument). He has played with bands for weddings and parties, and as a soloist at dulcimer festivals. He has also published an album of original compositions on piano and hammered dulcimer.
Lance Wagner is an Irish fiddle champion who has studied jazz piano at Michigan State University. He's played with traditional Irish bands, contra dance bands, and performed as a pianist in large jazz bands. He is also an Irish fiddle teacher in the Ann Arbor area.
As a duo, Lance and Craig are in demand, playing often at Senior Living Centers in Southeast Michigan. Their array of gear - including electric piano, folk instruments, and mics - will fill both intimate settings and larger gathering spaces with music that is sure to delight (but, never too loud).
They engage, tell stories about their tunes, and bring smiles to people's faces, playing favorites people remember from their younger days, along with fresh instrumentals.
