Description
In presenting his ever-changing Americana-flavored solo performances, banjoist Tony Trischka draws on his 54 year career to create a masterful mix of bluegrass, jazz, old time, popular, classical, celtic, and original music.
Though often thought of as a one-trick pony, the banjo, in Tony’s hands, becomes a vehicle of kaleidoscopic expression. Of course, there are the searingly virtuosic, rapid-fire bluegrass instrumentals to ignite any audience. In addition, though, there are more poignant pieces (many of them original compositions) that plumb deeper emotional depths.
In conjunction with his newly released album, Earl Jam, Tony will perform previously unheard arrangements by Earl Scruggs.
