SUMMARY:AJ Lee and Blue Summit\, East Nash Grass
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass is hot\, and AJ Lee & Blue Summit and East Nash Grass are two of the hottest collections of young bluegrass talent you’ll find anywhere in America. Part of bluegrass’ fourth wave\, these are musicians who’ve grown up at the feet of the bluegrass masters\, but see the genre through a wider lens\, incorporating not just Americana and stringband sensibilities\, but rock\, pop\, R&B\, and other flavors that take their music far beyond traditional bluegrass fare\, without losing the essence of what gives bluegrass its heart. Best of all\, when you put two groups like this together on the road\, you can be sure they’ll cook up something special for every show — musicians of this caliber just can’t help but be inspired by each other. Might as well start getting excited now.

SUMMARY:A J Lee plus East Nash Grass
DESCRIPTION:AJ LEE & BLUE SUMMIT \nAJ Lee & Blue Summit are an award-winning\, energetic\, charming\, and technically jaw-dropping band — and one of the most exciting and fast-rising Bluegrass / Americana bands on the scene today. Based in the California Bay Area\, the group met as teenagers\, picking and jamming together as kids at local bluegrass festivals. Currently made up of AJ Lee on mandolin\, fiddler Jan Purat\, guitarists Scott Gates and Sullivan Tuttle (younger brother of Molly Tuttle)\, and bassist Sean Newman\, the band still carries that youthful\, festival-parking-lot energy with them\, yet there’s a genuine ease and confidence to their music making. A breakout year for the band\, 2024 saw them release their critically acclaimed album\, “City of Glass\,” their first label release on Signature Sounds recordings\, combined with becoming one of the most in-demand bands in the Bluegrass scene. In 2025\, the band continues to pack major venues around the country\, along with major festival plays\, and the release of “Cover to Cover V1\,” an EP of cover songs being released throughout the year. \nEAST NASH GRASS \nEast Nash Grass exemplifies the best of what bluegrass has to offer — as being named the 2024 IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) New Artist of the Year would suggest. But their talent as singers\, instrumentalists\, and composers is just the beginning. The secret to East Nash Grass lies in their unflinching ability to be themselves. It certainly helps that they are a veritable supergroup of award-winners who have been performing longer than some might guess they’ve been alive\, with experience working with Dan Tyminski\, Tim O’Brien\, Sierra Hull\, and Rhonda Vincent\, as just a start. After hundreds of sets (and countless late-night jams) in Nashville\, East Nash Grass has coalesced into the hair-raising ensemble of Harry Clark (mandolin)\, Cory Walker (banjo)\, James Kee (guitar)\, Maddie Denton (fiddle)\, and Jeff Partin (bass/dobro). Their love of both bluegrass and the absurd can be felt in both their live shows and on their new album “All God’s Children” (Mountain Fever\, 2025)\, which keep listeners on the edge of their seats\, marveling at irrefutable mastery and wondering just what might come next.

SUMMARY:Lonesome Ace Stringband - Passim
DESCRIPTION:The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit\, skill and abandon to a music that lurks on the outskirts of old-time\, bluegrass\, and folk. The songs of John Hartford\, Hank Williams\, Dock Boggs\, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. Their original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely. \nConsisting simply of fiddle (John Showman)\, clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole)\, bass (Noah Harrington)\, and voice\, the band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it could come from a trio to a sparse fragility that draws the listener in.

SUMMARY:Hosmer Mountain Boys in Westford\, MA (Parish Center for the Arts)
DESCRIPTION:Charming\, historic\, intimate\, unique…no words do justice to a PCA concert experience. This intimate space holds up to 125 people seated cafe-style so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. And you will almost always run into neighbors and friends at each event!\nEvenings concerts are cafe-style – bring your own food and drinks\nhttps://parisharts.square.site/product/1-10-26-hosmer-mountain-boys/218?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=6\nParish Center for the Arts\n10 Lincoln Street\nWestford\, MA 01886 \nThe Hosmer Mountain Boys are a retro bluegrass band that is quickly rising in the New England Bluegrass scene and having a lot of fun in the process. They were voted the “Fan Favorite” at the 2023 Podunk Bluegrass Festival\, performed in Lexington (KY) on WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour\, and crossed the pond for the 2024 Battlefield Bluegrass Festival in England. Keegan (guitar) and Simon (banjo) met at Mando Camp North in 2018 at age 16 and instantly connected over their passion for Flatt & Scruggs. Red Day\, (mandolin) has recently been added to the band this season. Cathy Bumgarner Day (fiddle) and Tom Bowman (bass) complete the lineup with decades of regional bluegrass experience. Simon (banjo) has been described by some attendees at the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Brunswick\, ME\, as Connecticut’s best‑kept secret. You’ll hear that Keegan’s major guitar‑picking influences include Riley Pucket\, Don Reno\, and the thumb‑picking style of Lester Flatt. Rounding out the band is Cathy Bumgarner Day on fiddle and Tom Bowman on bass\, both staples in the New England Bluegrass Music scene for decades.\nCabaret Seating. BYOB & Snacks

SUMMARY:Alison Brown at TCAN
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic instrumental music has never been so beautifully represented as by Alison Brown. As one of the most multi-faceted minds on today’s roots music scene\, every one of Alison’s endeavors is marked by innovation\, intelligence\, and grace. As a banjo player\, she throws out the textbook when it comes playing the banjo and the result is a sound that blends the rugged drive of bluegrass with the harmonic sensibilities of jazz\, earning vast acclaim and a GRAMMY award in the process.
