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.

SUMMARY:New Dangerfield
DESCRIPTION:A century of forgetfulness and erasure has led to diminished public awareness of the Black string band tradition – and equally diminished numbers of Black string bands. Once numerous\, these ensembles have grown few and far between. In recent decades\, only one Black string band has emerged per generation. The 1980’s saw the birth of the Ebony Hillbillies. Nearly three decades later\, the Carolina Chocolate Drops formed and took the tradition to new heights. As of 2023\, a new Black string band has emerged to carry the torch: New Dangerfield. \nNew Dangerfield was originally conceptualized by award-winning bluegrass banjoist Tray Wellington\, who enlisted three other acclaimed Black roots musicians: multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kaïa Kater\, bassist Nelson Williams (Chris Jones & the Night Drivers)\, and fiddler and singer Jake Blount. Irrepressible and adventurous from the start\, the band is musically versatile and charismatic. \nGroton Hill Music Center

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P's
DESCRIPTION:Jams and concerts every Tuesday at this Cambridge institution\, going strong for over 25 years! Check the web site to join the mailing list and find out who is playing this week. https://bluegrasstuesdays.com/ \n\n\n\n5:15 pm – My Beginner-to-Intermediate Bluegrass Jam continues to meet nearly every Tuesday\, but you’ll have to email me at tonywatt@gmail.com to be sure. This is a “teacher-directed” jam where we never know what songs we’re going to play\, but we’re limited to no instrumentals and no very fast nor very complex songs. \n\n\n\n6:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam meets every week and is suitable for those who have some experience jamming already and can play songs and tunes\, recognize chord changes\, and play well with others. \n\n\n\n6:45 pm – Ed’s Fiddle Tunes at 80 BPM Jam now meets in the hallway behind the kitchen\, right by the stairwell to the garage. This jam focuses on classic bluegrass instrumentals played at very reasonable tempos. \n\n\n\n7:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam typically evolves out of Kelley’s Intermediate Jam and then moves out back unless the weather is nice enough to play outside. \n\n\n\nPlus\, jamming throughout the restaurant until all hours! \n\n\n\nFor more information about any of these jams\, please visithttps://bluegrasstuesdays.com/jams.html and email me at tonywatt@gmail.com if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Matt Michienzie Band
DESCRIPTION:Matt Michienzie originally hails from Foxboro\, MA. Matt currently resides in Los Angeles\, where he plays with his countrified\, bluesified\, and grassified band. His passion as a songwriter is vividly clear: Matt sings from his heart and gives it his all in everything he plays. Whether fronting a bluegrass group\, jam band\, or country band\, Matt is able to combine his influential and eclectic music curiosities in a very tasteful and unique way. \n\n\n\nNot unlike many California grass bands\, MMB is a progressive bluegrass project. The roots of the band are in bluegrass…although they have a keen interest in incorporating other genres into their sound\, such as jam\, soul\, or traditional country. The band currently consists of fiddle\, mandolin\, guitar\, and bass. \n\n\n\nIn December 2022\, the Matt Michienzie Band flew back east to Matt’s neck of the woods to open for Tim Reynolds and TR3 at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River\, MA. The band won 1st Place Band at the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest – one of the longest running contests of it’s type. The band will be making their Grass Valley debut at this years Father’s Day Festival\, hosted by the California Bluegrass Association. They continue to tour both the west and east coast\, with Matt’s hometown theater MRPAC finding its footing as a fan favorite venue full of homecoming vibes.
