Grammy-nominated musician Tony Trischka said one of his performance goals is highlighting the versatility of the banjo.

 

"For many years, I lived in New York City, and when I would walk the street with my banjo, people would yell 'yee-haw' at me. You saw a banjo and you pictured bales of hay and missing teeth," said Trischka, who will perform Saturday at the Carroll Arts Center.

 

"It was a clichéd view of the banjo and a clichéd view of Southern music. I've worked on Bach and Beethoven on the banjo. I've done John Coltrane on the banjo, and I've recorded with drums and saxophones, and things like that."
