Fireside CollectiveSaturday, February 5th, 2022
7:00 PM Fireside collective emerged five years ago from the fertile roots music scene of Asheville, NC. The progressive bluegrass group released its debut album, won the 2016 Band Contest at MerleFest, and earned an International Bluegrass Music Association Momentum Band of the Year nomination. Whether they are bringing the classic sound of bluegrass or exploring new musical territory, they deliver a fresh, energetic approach and a blast of enthusiastic creativity that is electrifying audiences across the country. |

Kittel & Co.Saturday, March 12th, 2022
7:00 PM Previously of the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet, Kittel demonstrated similar scope as a composer-arranger-collaborator for such diverse artists as My Morning Jacket, Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble, and Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn.
For the last few years, he has been diligently building his own repertoire of music for a wholly original new group. Kittel & Co. includes mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham, genre-bending guitarist Quinn Bachand, transcendent bassist Ethan Jodziewicz, and hammer-dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman. |
Shotgun Jazz BandSaturday, March 26, 2022
7:00 PM Shotgun Jazz Band plays Traditional New Orleans Jazz in the spirit of the great Revivalists.
Emphasizing old New Orleans-style ensemble playing, a stomping rhythm section, and a genuine love of the hot, bluesy, no-frills melodies that once poured forth from New Orleans’ dance halls. Marla Dixon’s uncommon and exuberant spirit, which comes through in both her trumpet playing and spectacular singing, is so forceful that she immediately dominates any context she appears in, not unlike Kid Thomas Valentine. |
