SUMMARY:Music Worcester Presents: Sam Bush
DESCRIPTION:There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors\, of the traditionalists\, the rebels\, and the next gen devotees\, for bluegrass music’s ultimate inside outsider (or is it outside insider?). There is only one Sam Bush. \nThe mandolin/fiddle/guitar-playing icon has taken the genre to new heights over a 50+ year career having worked with such legends as Leon Russell\, Emmylou Harris\, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones\, and Lyle Lovett. In 2009\, the Americana Music Association awarded Bush the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist. Punch Brothers\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, and Greensky Bluegrass are just a few present-day bluegrass vanguards among so many musicians he’s influenced. His performances are annual highlights of the festival circuit\, with Bush’s joyous perennial appearances at the town’s famed bluegrass fest earning him the title\, “King of Telluride.” \n“With this band I have now I am free to try anything. Looking back at the last 50 years of playing newgrass\, with the elements of jazz improvisation and rock-&-roll\, jamming\, playing with New Grass Revival\, Leon\, and Emmylou; it’s a culmination of all of that\,” says Bush. “I can unapologetically stand onstage and feel I’m representing those songs well.” \nExperience the legendary instrumentalist in live performance with his band in Worcester\, MA on Friday\, June 9\, 2023.

SUMMARY:The Earls of Leicester feat. Jerry Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Shawn Camp (guitar\, lead vocals) – Charlie Cushman (banjo\, guitars) – Jerry Douglas (Dobro\, vocals) – Johnny Warren (fiddle\, bass vocals) – Jeff White (mandolin\, vocals) \nWhen the Earls of Leicester formed in 2013\, their mission was ambitious but exact: to preserve and promote the legacy of bluegrass legends Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs\, in hopes of reviving the duo’s music for longtime admirers and introducing a new generation to their genre-defining sound. Within a year of releasing their self-titled debut\, the Nashville-based six-piece far surpassed their own expectations\, winning a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and earning six awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Now\, with their first live album\, Earls of Leicester offer up a selection of songs that fully capture the pure joy and supreme musicianship that propel their every performance. \nRecorded over two nights at Nashville’s CMA Theater\, The Earls of Leicester Live at The CMA Theater in The Country Music Hall of Fame bears a boundless vitality that makes songs from over a half-century ago feel irresistibly fresh. Despite the band’s painstaking precision in recreating the catalog of Flatt and Scruggs’s Foggy Mountain Boys\, the album unfolds with an easy warmth that honors the essence of traditional bluegrass\, which Douglas describes as “music that was meant to be played on back porches.” Earls of Leicester Live is also accompanied by a DVD that shows the complete splendor of their live set: the throwback attire\, the off-the-cuff but illuminating between-song banter\, the relentless hotfooting required of their stage setup. “Our goal is to go out and reacquaint everybody with the music of Flatt and Scruggs just the way they did it\, which means fewer microphones and a good amount of choreography\,” says Douglas. “We’re trying to put as much as we can into the music before it even reaches the speakers.” \nMade up entirely of songs from 1954 to 1965\, Earls of Leicester Live combines classic tunes with more obscure numbers unearthed thanks to the band’s encyclopedic familiarity with Flatt and Scruggs’s body of work. To that end\, the setlist includes notorious crowd-pleasers like “Martha White Theme Song” (originally penned as a jingle for Martha White Self-Rising Flour) and “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” (a breakneck-paced\, banjo-driven instrumental popularized thanks to its use in Bonnie and Clyde)\, as well as the harmony-laced “You Can Feel It in Your Soul” and the sweetly crooning “All I Want Is You.” Earls of Leicester Live also serves up several tracks integral to Flatt and Scruggs legend—including “I’m Gonna Sleep with One Eye Open\,” a song famously banned from the Grand Ole Opry—along with more oddball offerings like the gracefully sprawling two-part instrumental “Steel Guitar Blues/Spanish Two Step.” And in one of the album’s most poignant moments\, the Earls of Leicester deliver the wistfully lilting “Reunion in Heaven”—a song the band performed at Foggy Mountain Boys mandolin player/vocalist Curly Seckler’s gravesite earlier this year\, as per Seckler’s personal request. \nThroughout Earls of Leicester Live\, the band wholeheartedly channels the spirit of Flatt and Scruggs while allowing each member’s distinct charm and singular musicality to shine through. And though their unbridled passion instantly stirs up a freewheeling energy\, a closer listen reveals the profound mastery of skill infused into each performance. “This is the result of years and years of trying out different instruments\, different string gauges\, different techniques to try to create these sounds\,” Douglas notes. In that process\, he adds\, the Earls of Leicester eventually dug up decades-old instruments in order to achieve the ideal texture and tone they were seeking. “Everybody in the band plays something old\,” says Douglas. “This music just sounds so much more true to form when it’s played on old instruments.” \nFor Douglas—a 14-time Grammy Award-winner who founded the Earls of Leicester and produces all their material—that approach builds on a lifelong dedication to studying the music of Flatt and Scruggs. Soon after hearing the Foggy Mountain Boys at age seven\, he devoted himself to deconstructing their recordings\, paying particular attention to the captivating Dobro work of Josh Graves. “I remember sitting by the record player and trying to figure out what Josh Graves was doing\,” he says. “There was no one to teach me\, so I just had to listen.” \nDouglas attended a number of Flatt and Scruggs concerts as a kid\, and later played with each musician on separate occasions. Although his own prolific career as a musician and producer has kept him more than occupied over the years—including appearing on more than 1\,600 albums\, recording with the likes of Ray Charles\, Dolly Parton\, and Elvis Costello—Douglas was unable to shake his vision of one day revisiting the music of Flatt and Scruggs. “I probably could have stayed focused on everything else I’ve got going on\, but this just haunted me\,” he says. \nAs Douglas points out\, the most crucial factor in forming the Earls of Leicester was replicating the lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry that long fueled Flatt and Scruggs. “I looked for years to find the group I needed for the alchemy to work\,” he says. In the end\, Douglas landed on the lineup of Shawn Camp (Garth Brooks\, Blake Shelton)\, Jeff White (Vince Gill\, Loretta Lynn)\, Charlie Cushman (Jimmy Martin\, Mel Tillis)\, Johnny Warren (son of Foggy Mountain Boys’ Paul Warren)\, and Barry Bales (Alison Krauss & Union Station)—and found himself beyond floored by their immediate synergy. “I had to stop the band in the middle of the first song\, because I was scared to keep going—it felt like Flatt and Scruggs were going to jump right out of the wall\,” he says in reflecting on their first meeting. “I’d hoped it was going to be even half that good\, and it ended up just taking my breath away.” \nWith The Earls of Leicester arriving on New Year’s Day in 2014—and later amassing its many accolades\, including Album of the Year at the 2015 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards—the band released their acclaimed sophomore album Rattle & Roar in July 2016 and\, at the 2017 IBMA Awards\, took home the Entertainer of the Year prize for the third year in a row. But for Douglas\, the most rewarding aspect of Earls of Leicester lies in playing for a live audience and witnessing their reaction firsthand. “One of the biggest payoffs for me is playing this music for younger people\, and watching them fall in love with it\,” he says. “And even better than that is having the older folks come up to me and tell me\, ‘I never thought I’d get to hear that music again.’ That’s when I know when we’ve really done our job.” \nOn Earls of Leicester Live\, that generation-spanning appeal is undeniable\, with the band’s sheer delight and wonder as infectious as each indelible melody. And as the Earls of Leicester transport the audience into a much simpler era\, the album ultimately fosters a tender connection with the past\, a sense of promise for the future\, and a newfound solace in the present moment. “This music conjures up my childhood—it drops me off into a kinder\, gentler place\, and I think it should do that for everybody\,” says Douglas. “When people come to see us\, we want them to forget about the outside world and all the stress or strife that goes along with it\, and hopefully hold onto that feeling for a while even after the show’s over.”

SUMMARY:Darin and Brooke Aldridge
DESCRIPTION:Darin and Brooke Aldridge are excited. And why not? With two new band members\, a new record label\, and five original songs on their latest album\, the bluegrass and Americana duo are back with This Life We’re Livin\,’ their ninth recorded project together and first release on Billy Blue Records. This Life We’re Livin’ celebrates the space the husband-and-wife team now occupies – the top of bluegrass music. \nArmed with the talents of the proverbial Triple Threat of uniquely distinctive singing\, commanding instrumental skills\, and accomplished songwriting\, Darin and Brooke continue to ascend to new heights in the industry while maintaining their easy-going\, down-to-earth connection with audiences everywhere. Brooke\, a former runner-up on TV’s Nashville Star\, is a four-time consecutive winner and reigning Female Vocalist of the Year for the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). She is nominated for a fifth time in 2021. Once a six-year member of The Country Gentlemen with the late Charlie Waller\, Darin is a former IBMA Mentor of the Year and a truly gifted singer and multi-instrumentalist. Together with their band – Billy Gee on bass\, Samantha Snyder on fiddle\, and Jacob Metz on banjo and resonator guitar – Darin and Brooke have been recognized with the IBMA’s nomination for 2021 Vocal Group of the Year. They have had multiple nominations over the years from the IBMA\, the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA)\, and the Inspirational Country Music Association. They have enjoyed top spots on the Billboard\, SiriusXM\, Bluegrass Today\, Bluegrass Unlimited\, Americana/Roots\, and Gospel charts. Their music videos have been featured on Country Music Television (CMT)\, CMT Edge\, Great American Country (GAC)\, Bluegrass Ridge TV\, and The Bluegrass Situation. Their television appearances include PBS’ Mountain Stage\, Songs of the Mountain and Music City Roots; RFD-TV’s Larry’s Country Diner\, Country’s Family Reunion\, and The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour; Great American Gospel\, The Bluegrass Road\, and Blue Highways TV. Their long-held dream to one day play the Grand Ole Opry came true on July 4\, 2017\, and since then\, they have graced the Opry stage more than 30 times. \nTheir rise became especially meteoric when they joined forces in 2016 with John Cowan\, who plays bass for The Doobie Brothers and is a member of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame as cofounder of New Grass Revival. This collaboration has led to performance opportunities with artists ranging from bluesman Keb Mo’ to stints with Country Music Hall of Famers Vince Gill and Jimmy Fortune (The Statler Brothers). Says Cowan\, “When someone asks me what I love most about Brooke and Darin\, my response is – everything! Brooke’s angelic singing\, Darin’s rock-solid baritone tucked up under her wings\, their musicianship. But mostly\, it’s their commitment to their beliefs that renders them to be gracious\, concerned\, and helpful to all they encounter. My music and interior life have been so tremendously enriched by the gift of their friendship.”

SUMMARY:Alison Brown
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-winning banjo phenom with her band\n\n\n“Like James Taylor’s voice or B.B. King’s guitar\, Alison Brown’s banjo is an instrument possessed of a unique sonic signature and an inescapable beauty…. an artist who never ceases to delight.” — Billboard Magazine \nOne of the most multi-faceted minds in roots music\, Alison Brown is a Grammy-winning musician\, Grammy-nominated producer\, former investment banker (with an A.B. from Harvard and an M.B.A. from UCLA)\, and co-founder of The Compass Records Group which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023. Alison and her band have toured extensively throughout the U.S. and abroad with stops at some of music’s most prestigious venues\, including Newport Folk Festival\, The Kennedy Center\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, The Cambridge Folk Festival (England)\, Celtic Connections (Scotland)\, Dublin National Concert Hall (Ireland)\, Galway Arts Festival (Ireland) and Verbier Music Festival (Switzerland). \n Although Alison began her musical career as a teenager in the Southern California bluegrass scene\, she has built a reputation as one of today’s most forward thinking and innovative banjo players. She is known for taking the instrument far beyond its Appalachian roots by blending bluegrass and jazz influences into a sonic tapestry that has earned praise and recognition from a variety of national tastemakers including The Wall Street Journal\, CBS Sunday Morning\, NPR\, and USA Today. \nOn her new release\, aptly titled On Banjo\, Alison continues her musical explorations on a set of original compositions that explore the range of the banjo.  The album features an eclectic cast of collaborators including Steve Martin\, Kronos Quartet\, Sharon Isbin\, Anat Cohen\, Sierra Hull\, Stuart Duncan and members of the Alison Brown Quintet.  \nAlison is the recipient of the USA Artists Fellowship in Music and the Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association. In 2019\, she was inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame. She serves on the Board of Governors of the Recording Academy and as co-chair of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize.

SUMMARY:Farmington Valley Acoustic Festival
DESCRIPTION:Farmington Valley Acoustic Festival Returns on October 21 \nThe 8th Annual Farmington Valley Acoustic Festival is returning on Saturday\, October 21st from 11:00am – 6:00pm at Winding Trails in Farmington.  Set amongst the beautiful 380 acres of forest and fall foliage on Dunning Lake\, there will be music on two stages\, with a beer garden at the beach featuring free samples from local breweries. The festival headliner is Enter the Haggis. For the better part of two decades\, Toronto’s Enter The Haggis has combined bagpipes and fiddles with a rock rhythm section to create a distinctively eclectic sound\, praised by The Boston Globe\, The Washington Post and Canada’s Globe and Mail.  Their songs offer singalong melodies and deep\, meaningful lyrics which tell the stories of everyday hard-working people\, often faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.  Signature songs like “One Last Drink”\, “Gasoline”\, “Down With The Ship” and “Lancaster Gate” have had hundreds of thousands of plays on social media\, appeared in Hollywood movies\, and have been performed and recorded by artists around the world. \nThe Festival also features Damn Tall Buildings. If you like your bluegrass served with a little punch\, attitude\, grit and gravy\, with that busking spirit that was so present and palpable in the early incarnations of Old Crow Medicine Show and made you realize that string band music could be so much more than fuddy-duddy reenactments by crusty ol’ relics\, then the Damn Tall Buildings will slide in nice as a welcome addition to your listening rotation. Bluegrass at heart\, but pulling from a wide range of influences including swing\, ragtime\, jazz\, and even a hint of contemporary perspective in the songwriting\, they offer virtually unmatched energy and enthusiasm\, underpinned by intelligent songs that don’t skimp on the infectiousness. \nAlso appearing on the main stage will be The Ruta Beggars. Appealing to traditional and progressive acoustic music fans alike\, The Ruta Beggars combine bluegrass and early swing to create a timeless act filled with intricate vocal harmonies\, fiery instrumentals\, and plenty of fun. \nIn addition\, award-winning songwriters from local and nationally-touring acts will be performing. Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance for $30 adults\, and $10 children at windingtrails.org or by calling Winding Trails at (860) 677-8458. \nThis one-day music festival runs from 11:00 a.m. to sunset and is rain or shine. Performances take place on the Boathouse stage and the Dunning Lake stage. Bring a tent in the event of rain. Free samples from local breweries will be available\, while supplies last. Food and additional refreshments are available for sale or attendees may BYOB and picnic. Take advantage of the scenic grounds at Winding Trails\, with 12 miles of walking trails\, sports fields\, and disc golf. \n  \nFestival proceeds benefit the Winding Trails Trails Fund\, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing year-round recreational and educational activities for the enjoyment and growth of families and individuals of all ages. The festival is presented by Lodestar Energy. ClarkHirth CPAs is sponsoring the Festival Beer Garden and Thomaston Savings Bank sponsors the Main stage. The festival is also made possible with support from the Wood-n-Tap\, the Sounding Board\, and The Law Offices of Michael Freeman.

According to founder Holly G: “No matter what it’s for or where we are\, there’s an intense feeling of home\, created simply by us being in the same room and celebrating this music that we all love. That feeling resonates throughout whatever space we are in\, and it never fails to feel like a healing experience.” \nThe concert will feature three writers performing in the round.
