SUMMARY:Bluegrass Music Through the Years with The Splinters
DESCRIPTION:The program surveys bluegrass music from its roots in early country and fiddle/banjo music\nto more progressive acoustic music with the same instrumentation. The Splinters cover old time fiddle tunes and The Carter Family to Bill Monroe\, Flatt and Scruggs\, The Stanley Brothers\, and other traditional bands\, landing in more progressive groups such as David Grisman\, Bela Fleck\, and modern ‘old time’ like John Hartford and Andrew Marlin. Participants will learn about these different styles of music and what makes them unique\, but part of the same fabric. We will also discuss the role of each instrument in the group and how that creates the whole sound you experience. There will be plenty of music involved. \n\n\n\nThe Splinters\, a bluegrass and old-time string band from Massachusetts\, deliver a relentless groove to accompany their tight 3-part harmonies. Tom Pritchard (fiddle) brings the heat to his fiddle playing. J Johnson (mandolin) adds a jazzy flair to his breaks. Chris Reckling (guitar\, banjo) picks solid rhythm and punchy leads on top of Garrett Wallace’s grooving bass fiddle. A Splinters set veers from straight ahead bluegrass to traditional fiddle tunes and back\, with the occasional detour into a modern song. They released their first album as a quartet\, “Grey Owl”. Their second album\, “In the Pale Moonlight“\, was released in August\, 2023. Both are available on all major streaming platforms and on Bandcamp.

SUMMARY:Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway
DESCRIPTION:On her new album\, City of Gold\, Molly Tuttle — joined by her band Golden Highway — shares a batch of spellbinding stories that span time and place: wildly colorful fables populated by gold miners and fortune tellers\, true-to-life tales of love and loss and a fast-changing world\, and a reimagining of Alice in Wonderland set in the backwoods of Kentucky\, to name just a few. The follow-up to 2022’s Crooked Tree—a widely lauded LP that won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album\, with Tuttle earning a Best New Artist nomination—the Northern California-raised musician’s fourth full-length album brings those narratives to a resplendent form of bluegrass rooted in her virtuosic guitar playing. This time around\, the Nashville-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist chose to record with her live band — Bronwyn Keith-Hynes (fiddle\, vocals)\, Dominick Leslie (mandolin)\, Kyle Tuttle (banjo\, vocals)\, and Shelby Means (bass\, vocals) — for the first time\, lending a potent new energy to her exquisitely crafted sound. \n

SUMMARY:WUMB Presents Twisted Pine\, Damn Tall Buildings & Ali McGuirk
DESCRIPTION:WUMB presents Boston’s own Twisted Pine celebrating their record release “Love Your Mind” with friends Damn Tall Buildings and Ali McGuirk — all home for the holiday. \nDoors open at 7 pm. Tix range from $15-20 in advance. \nTwisted Pine / LOVE YOUR MIND\nOn October 18th\, Twisted Pine releases its joyous third LP\, Love Your Mind\, on Signature Sounds Recordings. The title represents the quartet landing on a more expansive sound than ever\, after years of touring\, serious introspection\, bouts of self-doubt\, glorious bursts of creativity\, and many after-hour festival jam sessions and pickin’ till dawn. \nCo-produced by the band and longtime-collaborator Dan Cardinal at his studio Dimension Sound in Boston\, the record is loaded with experimental production\, fearless songwriting featuring input from each member\, finely-crafted collaborative arrangements\, playing that’s virtuosic and visceral. It’s a reflection of what the band listens to. It’s buoyant pop and delicate folk\, raging old-time energy\, and old-school r&b grooves.
