SUMMARY:Bluegrass Jam hosted by Familiar Strangers
DESCRIPTION:Second Wed of the month at Maynard Sanctuary Cultural Arts Center. \nOpen Bluegrass Jam hosted by Greg Young (Familar Strangers).\nAcoustic instruments only. Multiple spaces to jam so depending on the size and mix of skill levels and styles (e.g. bluegrass\, country\, “fiddle” tunes) we might split into 2-3 groups. \nBar will be open! \nStrange\, Yet Familiar…\nWith musical roots firmly planted in bluegrass\, Celtic\, country\, rock and everywhere between\, the Familiar Strangers bend the genres of well known tunes with each double stop of the fiddle\, strum of the guitar\, thump of the upright bass or slide of the dobro.\n

SUMMARY:Tony Trischka's EarlJam featuring Michael Daves
DESCRIPTION:Tony 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. \nTony will be honoring the music of Earl Scruggs\, pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass\, or\, in Tony’s opinion\, in any genre. Trischka recently came into possession of extremely rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs and John Hartford\, and he has transcribed and recorded Scruggs’s note-for-note solos from a number of these…many songs that Earl had never recorded. His latest album\, EarlJam: A Tribute to Earl Scruggs\, was nominated for a 2025 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and features some of the biggest names in bluegrass. “Earl is my North Star\, a lifetime pathway”. \nOpening for Tony will be Farayi.
