Prepare for an unforgettable night with Tony Trischka, the "father of modern bluegrass" and a 2017 American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame inductee. This Syracuse native has spent over 50 years pushing the boundaries of the five-string banjo, earning multiple Grammy nods and taking home three IBMA awards in 2007 alone, including Banjo Player of the Year—plus, he recently teamed up with Billy Strings to win the 2024 IBMA Collaborative Recording of the Year for "Brown's Ferry Blues," and the powerhouse duo is nominated again for this October’s 2026 IBMA Awards for their track "Gentle on My Mind." In this special concert, Tony presents his acclaimed project Earl Jam, a heartfelt tribute to his musical "North Star," Earl Scruggs, backed by an elite "ace band" that brings found rare, archival Scruggs transcriptions to life with incredible precision and soul. The core lineup features the high-lonesome vocals and masterful guitar work of Michael Daves, plus Jared Engel on bass and a rotating cast of world-class fiddlers like Alex Hargreaves or Nate Lee, though depending on the night, you might also catch virtuosos like mandolinist Jacob Jolliff or fiddler Brittany Haas. Packed with meticulously transcribed, previously unheard solos, this show masterfully bridges bluegrass history with its vibrant future, celebrating a legendary career that has shaped generations of musicians—including Tony's former student, Béla Fleck.
