A somewhat unlikely but brilliant pairing; mandolin virtuoso Andy Statman from Brooklyn, and guitar whiz Jake Eddy from West Virginia. Statman is a legend on both mandolin and clarinet, playing bluegrass and klezmer. He has played with everyone from Ricky Skaggs to Itzhak Perlman, and is highly esteemed in both worlds. Jake Eddy started out playing banjo with the legendary Melvin Goins. He's currently guitarist with the Becky Buller Band, when not touring his own group. Jake's younger brother Carter Eddy is developing a well- earned reputation as a fantastic bassist, and harmony singer too. When players of this caliber get together, who knows what they'll come up with? The sky's the limit, but great music is guaranteed!
Legendary bluegrass and klezmer virtuoso Andy Statman on mandolin & clarinet, with rising bluegrass guitar whiz Jake Eddy, and younger brother Carter Eddy on bass. Intimate outdoor concert. Bring a chair and refreshments.
Kentucky's Dale Ann Bradley, 6-time IBMA top female singer in bluegrass, with the stellar backing of Matt Leadbetter on dobro and Kim Fox on guitar and vocals. Outdoor yard concert, bring chair, sun hat/umbrella, and refreshments.
Hailing from opposite ends of the Appalachian mountains, Zoe & Cloyd is renowned fiddler and vocalist Natalya Zoe Weinstein and award-winning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist John Cloyd Miller. Their show is as diverse as their upbringing, with soaring harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, seamlessly combining original bluegrass, klezmer, old-time and folk. Their band includes Bennett Sullivan on banjo and Nate Sabat on bass. Outdoor concert, bring a chair, refreshments, and maybe a picnic supper.
Twisted Pine is a Boston based band that was once bluegrass, but now has a more poppy vibe. With virtuosic playing and tight harmonies, driving rhythms, and clever songwriting, the band is, according to the Boston Globe, “ A wider version of a string band, boundary jumpers akin to outfits like Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek, and Crooked Still.” Great live show, maybe the most exciting acoustic band around! Bring a chair and refreshments.
Brilliant solo guitarist, he's also a wonderful singer and songwriter who is making his name as a solo performer. This is an outdoor concert, so bring a chair and refreshments.
