In order to help launch Sean's debut solo album, Tony and Sean Trischka are touring as a father/son duo. They will be featured by the Jenkins House Concerts on Saturday, May 16, at their first ever, full show appearance together. Tony last performed here for a winter soltice concert and we welcome him back.
This year marks Tony Trischka’s 50th year as a banjo player. In that time he’s covered many musical bases....from straight-ahead Scruggs style, to ultra-progressive playing, then dropping back into the roots of modern banjo music (African, minstrel and parlor style).
Tony has twice been nominated for a Grammy, and has won three International Bluegrass Music Association awards, including Banjo Player of the Year. He’s released fifteen solo albums and written fifteen instruction books. For the last six years he’s been at the helm of the Tony Trischka School of Banjo, an online school with an international presence. Tony is a 2012 United States Artists Friends Fellow.
Sean Trischka is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based out of Boston, MA. He has performed and/or recorded with such artists as The Deadly Gentlemen, Oteil Burbridge, Julian Lage and Joy Kills Sorrow. Sean will be releasing his debut solo effort in October 2015 and it will feature his songwriting, singing and unique style of pop music.
Tony and Sean will be combining on most of the evening's program and you can look forward to a show full of surprises as well as familial favorites. Tony will be covering a wide swath of territory from Earl Scruggs to Pete Seeger to the Beatles and beyond. There will be a couple of sing-alongs but nobody will get hurt.
