SUMMARY:The Del McCoury Band
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass legend Del McCoury brings his band to the Concert Hall at Groton Hill March 22! \n“Almost unimaginable\, McCoury’s sixth decade in a half-century of bluegrass bliss brings new triumphs\, new collaborations\, and new music.” — Opry.com \nFor more than 50 years\, Del McCoury’s music has defined authenticity for hard-core bluegrass devotees as well as a growing number of fans only vaguely familiar with the genre. Del is something special\, a living link to the days when bluegrass was made only in hillbilly honkytonks\, at schoolhouse shows and on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry\, yet also a commandingly vital presence today\, from primetime and late night TV to major music festivals.

SUMMARY:Kaïa Kater
DESCRIPTION:“You want some authenticity in your folk music or bluegrass – I give you Kaïa Kater.” – No Depression\nMontreal-born Grenadian-Canadian Kaïa Kater’s jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk\, The Guardian\, Rolling Stone and No Depression. Kaïa draws on influences rooted in Quebec\, the Caribbean\, and Appalachia\, all of which reflect the diversity of her background; her family’s deep ties to the Canadian folk music scene; her college years spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia and her father’s experience growing up in Grenada\, arriving in Canada in 1986\, after the U.S. invasion. \nKaïa released her first EP Old Soul (2013) when she was just out of high school. Since then\, she’s gone on to release three more albums\, Sorrow Bound (2015)\, Nine Pin (2016) and Grenades (2018).  For the JUNO-nominated and Polaris Music Prize long-listed Grenades\, Kaia leaned into a wide array of sounds and styles in order to convey a broad range of emotions and topics\, most notably her Caribbean ancestry and her father’s experience as a refugee in Canada.  In 2020\, Kaïa took part in the Slaight Music Residency at the Canadian Film Center\, released a new single\, and wrote original music for The Porter (BET+ 2022).

SUMMARY:The Del McCoury Band
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass legend Del McCoury brings his band to the Concert Hall at Groton Hill March 22! \n“Almost unimaginable\, McCoury’s sixth decade in a half-century of bluegrass bliss brings new triumphs\, new collaborations\, and new music.” — Opry.com \nFor more than 50 years\, Del McCoury’s music has defined authenticity for hard-core bluegrass devotees as well as a growing number of fans only vaguely familiar with the genre. Del is something special\, a living link to the days when bluegrass was made only in hillbilly honkytonks\, at schoolhouse shows and on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry\, yet also a commandingly vital presence today\, from primetime and late night TV to major music festivals.

SUMMARY:Tony Trischka's Earl Jam: A Tribute to Earl Scruggs
DESCRIPTION:“Once again\, Tony has set the world afire with his banjo and his storytelling skills…”— Bluegrass Today \nTony Trischka is considered the consummate banjo artist and perhaps the most influential banjo player in the roots music world. For more than 50 years\, his stylings have inspired a whole generation of bluegrass and acoustic musicians with the many voices he has brought to the instrument. His show honors the music of Earl Scruggs\, pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass\, or\, in Trischka’s opinion\, in any genre. \nTrischka recently came into possession of extremely rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs and John Hartford\, and he transcribed and recorded Scruggs’s note-for-note solos from a number of these\, including many songs that were never recorded. Together with his ace band — Michael Daves on vocals and guitar\, fiddler Alex Hargreaves and bassist Jared Engel — Trischka will trace the story of Scruggs from his childhood to his final years. “The depth of his genius becomes ever more apparent when I transcribe his solos\, which I’ve been doing my entire musical life and with renewed vigor\,” says Trischka. “Discovering new twists and turns in his playing is pure joy and\, in fact\, the inspiration for this tribute show and album.” The show debuted at Joe’s Pub in New York City which drew lots of interest\, including an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry\, a rarity for a banjo player these days. \n“Earl is my North Star\, a lifetime pathway. And I’m not alone\,” says Trischka\, a banjo innovator and educator who has influenced everyone from Béla Fleck to Steve Martin. “Through his music\, this shy kid from Flint Hill\, North Carolina went on to enrich countless thousands of lives. At the age of 13\, when I first heard 16 notes of Scruggs style banjo playing\, I put down my folk guitar and mercilessly pestered my parents to buy me a banjo. Once in my hands\, that 5-string became my obsession and has been for 60 years.”

SUMMARY:Kaïa Kater
DESCRIPTION:“You want some authenticity in your folk music or bluegrass – I give you Kaïa Kater.” – No Depression\nMontreal-born Grenadian-Canadian Kaïa Kater’s jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk\, The Guardian\, Rolling Stone and No Depression. Kaïa draws on influences rooted in Quebec\, the Caribbean\, and Appalachia\, all of which reflect the diversity of her background; her family’s deep ties to the Canadian folk music scene; her college years spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia and her father’s experience growing up in Grenada\, arriving in Canada in 1986\, after the U.S. invasion. \nKaïa released her first EP Old Soul (2013) when she was just out of high school. Since then\, she’s gone on to release three more albums\, Sorrow Bound (2015)\, Nine Pin (2016) and Grenades (2018).  For the JUNO-nominated and Polaris Music Prize long-listed Grenades\, Kaia leaned into a wide array of sounds and styles in order to convey a broad range of emotions and topics\, most notably her Caribbean ancestry and her father’s experience as a refugee in Canada.  In 2020\, Kaïa took part in the Slaight Music Residency at the Canadian Film Center\, released a new single\, and wrote original music for The Porter (BET+ 2022).
