Tony Trischka's EarlJam Featuring Michael Daves - A Tribute to Earl Scruggswith Farayi Malek
$35, $49.50
Doors: Mar 18, 2026 7:30 PM
Tony Trischka is considered the consummate banjo artist and perhaps the most influential banjo player in the roots music world. For more than 50 years, his stylings have inspired a whole generation of bluegrass and acoustic musicians with the many voices he has brought to the instrument.
Tony will be honoring the music of Earl Scruggs, pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass, or, in Tony’s opinion, in any genre. Trischka recently came into possession of extremely rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs and John Hartford, and he has transcribed and recorded Scruggs’s note-for-note solos from a number of these. Many are songs that Scruggs had never recorded.
An album of this music is in production and includes a number of bluegrass luminaries. Together with his ace band—Michael Daves on vocals and guitar, fiddler Alex Hargreaves and bassist Jared Engel— they will trace the story of Scruggs from his childhood to his final years. This show debuted at Joe’s Pub in New York City which drew lots of interest including an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, a rarity for a banjo player these days.
Farayi Malek’s connection to bluegrass comes from her early life in rural Southern Idaho, where she grew up playing fiddle and absorbing old‑time, country, gospel, and bluegrass traditions. Though she’s now known primarily as a jazz and contemporary vocalist, those roots remain part of her artistic identity and the Americana influences woven through her work.
