Legendary mandolinist David Grisman really likes the Crying UncleBluegrass Band: “Go and check out Crying Uncle! We dig what they are
doing! The future of music is in good hands here!” Widely recognized as
one of the most exciting young bands in acoustic music, Crying Uncle
Bluegrass Band plays a unique mix of bluegrass, Dawg (David Grisman
music), jazz, and modern originals. Come check these ground-breaking
musicians out on Friday, June 26th, when they bring their amazing talent
to the Otter Opry stage at Monterey United Methodist Church!
Brothers Miles (fiddle) and Teo (mandolin) Quale are joined by bassist
Andrew Osborn and 2023 National Flat Pick Guitar Champion Ian Ly, all
outstanding musicians of the vibrant California bluegrass scene. Beginning
in 2016 as a Duo, Miles and Teo formed the bluegrass band in 2017 – and
since then, they have continued to make waves in the world of bluegrass
and acoustic music. In 2024, the band celebrated its debut at the Grand
Ole Opry; and in 2023, it received the International Bluegrass Music
Association's (IBMA) Momentum Band of the Year award. Crying Uncle
was also honored to perform for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame’s
induction of its hero, David Grisman.
Patrice O’Neill, Executive Director of the annual Wintergrass Festival in
Washington, is impressed with the band on multiple levels: “Sure, they can
rip off a blazing solo,” he says. “But they can also explore the depths of
melodic and harmonic sophistication with grace and oh, so much
intelligence.” Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band is guaranteed to get your toes
tapping (or maybe your feet stomping), so don’t miss this show! You can
even enjoy dinner before the show ($15 in advance, $20 after June 20th).
Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance.
