\"\"The Eddie Barbash and KASA Quartets will kick off this year\u2019s Folk & Roots Festival, starting at 5pm at the University of Illinois’ Music and Performing Arts Library (MPAL).\u00a0 So, if you\u2019re looking for exciting music that will keep your feet dancing and bodies grooving or if you are just ending a busy workday filled with too many meetings, then stop by MPAL this afternoon.\u00a0 Yes, we said dancing in the music library stacks.\u00a0 Who would have thought or dared!<\/p>\n

The performance will run from 5:00pm to 6:30pm and will be free and open to everyone.\u00a0 There will be plenty of room for dancing and if the moment entices you, feel free to shake your booty!\u00a0 The groups will perform several new arrangements that they just recorded, so this isn\u2019t going to be your grandparent\u2019s old-timey music show.\u00a0 Stop by MPAL after work to start your Folk & Roots experience. If you like what you hear, then dance your way to the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts for a continuation of great music with Dennis Stroughmatt & Creole Stomp beginning at 7:00pm.<\/p>\n

For further information about the MPAL performance email Kate Lambaria at lambari1@illinois.edu<\/a> or the Sousa guy at schwrtzs@illinois.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 For further information about this weekend\u2019s Folk & Roots programming, visit https:\/\/folkandroots.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
