Joe Cirotti is a Hackettstown-based singer/songwriter renowned throughout Northwest NJ for his band, the Joe Cirotti Trio, playing a one-of-a-kind blend of Americana, bluegrass, alt-country, and gypsy jazz, and acoustic pop. Cirotti is stripping it down to a duet with founding member Mike Alexander, for a spellbinding afternoon of bluegrass in the rustic Middle Valley Community Center.
Cirotti's extraordinary acoustic guitar and Alexander's insane mastery of the mandolin and banjo will take us on a ride enjoying some of the greatest traditional bluegrass songs from greats like Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, and others.
