The mandolin's been popping up in the Bay Area a lot lately — first with the International Festival of the Mandolins, and now with the International Mandolin Night at the Freight & Salvage. The eight-stringed descendant of the lute has proven irresistible for tonight's featured artists: Bulgaria's renowned Caterina Lichtenberg; Brazil's young, lauded phenom Danilo Brito and virtuoso fusion mandolinist Dudu Maia; and East Bay resident mandolin master Mike Marshall, whose nuanced picking with the likes of David Grisman, Bela Fleck, and Brazilian group Choro Famoso must be heard to be believed. – Nicholas Nauman
