David and Nathan Gusakov will bring their unique father/son duo to the Adamant Community Club on Saturday, May 18, at 7:30 PM. As "Last Train to Zinkov," the Gusakovs perform original songs and old tunes about life and death and the beauty of the hills. Featuring clawhammer banjo, fiddle, and family harmonies, "Last Train to Zinkov"'s music draws from many traditions: Appalachian old-time, gypsy jazz, classical, and the klezmer music of their family's Eastern European roots. David Gusakov's name might be familiar name to many Vermonters; he arrived in Vermont in 1973, joining the Vermont Symphony that year and the bluegrass/swing band Pine Island the next. In the intervening 42 years, he has been a full-time musician, playing with such groups as the Midnite Plowboys, Redwing, Swing Shift, Will Patton, and Swing Noire. Nathan Gusakov, who is self-taught on the clawhammer-style banjo, lives with his family in Lincoln, Vermont. In a recent interview with the Rutland Herald, Nathan said, "When we started playing together in earnest a few years ago, it was sort of like meeting my dad for the first time. Immediately we both felt like we'd found a close collaborator and kindred creative spirit, it was so powerful!"

Admission is $15, free for 12 and under. For more information, email this address or call 454-7103. To sample the Gusakovs' music, go to www.lasttraintozinkov.com
