For several years Brooklyn-based guitarist Grant
Gordy has been a major voice on the American "acoustic music" scene, and
one of the most highly regarded young instrumentalists of his
generation. Having held the guitar chair in the legendary David Grisman
Quintet for six years, he's also worked alongside such musical
luminaries as Edgar Meyer, Steve Martin, Edie Brickell, and Darol Anger.
Grant has performed all over North America and Europe, everywhere from
Carnegie Hall to Montreal Jazz Festival; Jazz at Lincoln Center to
Bonnaroo. His music has been heard on NPR's Morning Edition, All Things
Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts.
Hailed by Nashville’s Music Row Magazine for his “lickety-split
mandolin work” and by CBC-Newfoundland as “one of the best mandolinists
of his generation”, Portland, Maine-based mandolin player Joe K. Walsh
is known for his exceptional tone and taste, and his collaborations
with acoustic music luminaries including legendary fiddler Darol Anger,
flatpick guitar hero Scott Nygaard, folk legend Jonathan Edwards, and
pop/grass darlings Joy Kills Sorrow have taken him all over the musical
and figurative map. He’s played with everyone from John Scofield to
Béla Fleck to Emmylou Harris, and performed everywhere from festivals to
laundromats to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. An avid educator, Joe is also mandolin instructor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Violinist Alex Hargreaves is an active performer, playing on stages
around the world including Austin City Limits, A Prairie Home Companion,
Grand Ole Opry, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, Monterey Jazz
Festival, Panama Jazz Festival, Bonnaroo, Newport Jazz and Folk
Festivals, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, as well as venues in
the UK, France, Italy, Canada, and South Korea. Matt Glaser, artistic director of Berklee College of Music,
American Roots Program, states simply, “Truly, Alex Hargreaves is the
best young jazz violinist in America.”
