The Bluegrass Characters deliver straight-ahead traditional mountain-style Bluegrass with soaring vocals and hard-driving instrumentals, following the recipe laid down by Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, The Stanley Brothers, and other pioneers of the genre.
The Bluegrass Characters were assembled in 2011 by the legendary Grammy-winning fiddler and Dobroist Stacy Phillips, and led by him until his untimely death in 2018. They continue to champion Stacy’s mission of bringing authentic Bluegrass music to Northern urban audiences. For this appearance, The Bluegrass Characters are Sofia Chiarandini (fiddle), Phil Zimmerman (mandolin), Pete Kelly (banjo), Andy Bromage (guitar), and Rick Brodsky (bass).
