Common Ground on the Hill Announces

Bluegrass Banjo Superstar Tony Trischka

 

WESTMINSTER, MD - Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, at 8 PM

In a consistently adventurous musical career that spans nearly half a century, Tony Trischka has established himself as both a wildly inventive recording artist and one of America's foremost visionaries of the five-string banjo. Widely regarded as the most innovative banjoist of his generation, Trischka's dexterity and restless creative spirit have inspired generations of fans, and his influence in igniting the world of progressive acoustic music permanently altered the face of American roots music. International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) multiple award winner and Grammy nominee, Trischka has been a trailblazer influencing generations of roots-oriented players and collaborated with artists ranging from Steve Martin, Bela Fleck and Tony Rice to Trischka's own musical hero, Earl Scruggs, as well as  crossing genres to work with such luminaries as Bruce Springsteen, the Boston Pops Orchestra, and the National Radio Orchestra of Korea. It is no wonder that he is known as "the great banjo liberationist" (Tom Ashbrook, NPR, "On Point").

Location: Carroll Arts Center, 91 W Main Street, Westminster, MD  21157

Tickets: $25; $22 Seniors 65+ & Students. Available at the gate or online.
