SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P's Jams
DESCRIPTION:In addition to the weekly concerts at Lily P’s there is a lot of jamming happening all over the restaurant and outside. Also: \nBeginner & Intermediate Bluegrass Jams at Lily P’s\nThere are now three distinct jams scheduled nearly every week:\n(1) The weekly Beginner-to-Intermediate Bluegrass Jam continues to meet nearly every Tuesday starting at 5:15 pm at Lily P’s (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(2) The Intermediate Bluegrass Jam hosted by Kelley meets every week starting at 6:30 pm. This jam is likely suitable for those who have some experience jamming already and can play songs and tunes\, recognize chord changes\, and play well with others. \n(3) The Int/Adv Bluegrass Jam hosted by Wayne usually starts at 7 pm. This jam typically evolves out of the Intermediate Jam and then moves out back unless the weather is nice enough to play outside.\n\nFor more information about any of these jams\, please email me at tonywatt@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Aoife O’Donovan and Hawktail: All My Friends Tour
DESCRIPTION:Aoife O’Donovan and Hawktail join together for a night of joyous music. Hawktail opens the evening with their signature songs and cosmopolitan sound. Aoife O’Donovan will then take the stage with Hawktail as her band\, performing songs from the Grammy-award winning musician’s 4th studio album All My Friends (out March 22\, 2024). \nO’Donovan continues to enchant audiences worldwide with her soul-stirring music and unwavering passion for storytelling through song. Deemed “a vocalist of unerring instinct” by the New York Times\, she has released three critically-acclaimed and boundary-blurring solo albums including literarily crafted Age Of Apathy\, which received three Grammy nominations. \nHer newest album\, All My Friends is based around a collection of songs Aoife O’Donovan wrote\, inspired by women’s suffrage and the passage of the 19th amendment. The album is a deep dive into the reimagining of the life of Carrie Chapman Catt – one of the movement’s leaders and founder of the League of Women Voters – juxtaposed with Aoife’s own experiences as a woman and mother. \nHawktail is the acoustic instrumental trio of fiddler Brittany Haas\, bassist Paul Kowert\, and guitarist Jordan Tice. Though at first glance it looks like an acoustic super-picker side-project\, their all-original music is cohesive and unique\, distinguishing them as an ensemble with a sound built from the ground up. Flush with orchestral sweeps and sparse vigils\, with strains of the American South and the North Atlantic. Together\, they have fostered a reputation as a rare ensemble of composers and instrumentalists able to take the listener on a journey\, without the use of words.

SUMMARY:Larry and Joe
DESCRIPTION:Larry Bellorín hails from Monagas\, Venezuela and is a legend of Llanera music. Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Larry was forced into exile and is an asylum seeker in North Carolina. Joe\, after a decade in South America\, got stranded back in his stomping grounds in the pandemic. Larry works construction to make ends meet. Joe’s acclaimed “latingrass” band Che Apalache was forced into hiatus\, and he shifted into action working with asylum seeking migrants. \nCurrently based in the Triangle of North Carolina\, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp\, banjo\, cuatro\, fiddle\, maracas\, guitar\, upright bass\, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce.

SUMMARY:Lonesome Ace Stringband
DESCRIPTION:Masters of their trade\, The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit\, skill and abandon to Americana music\, bridging old-time\, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless. \nInstrumentation alone sets this Toronto-based trio’s sound apart: consisting simply of fiddle (John Showman)\, clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole)\, and upright bass (Max Heineman). The spine-tingling harmonies and interchanging lead vocals only bring more magic to the equation. They’ve become festival favourites at Rockygrass\, Celtic Connections\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Merlefest and regularly tour the USA\, UK\, Germany and\, of course\, Canada. \nWith more than a decade of group music-making under their belts\, they’re releasing their fifth album\, a feisty and mighty collection of all-original material titled ‘Try To Make It Fly’ (October 13\, 2023).
