Description

Featuring renowned fiddler Darol Anger, guitarist Grant Gordy, Scottish bassist Aidan O’Donnell, and mandolinist Joe Walsh, Mr Sun is a force de resistance calling on a vast musical hertiage from the Isles to the Appalachias. We are beyond exciteed to have them. You'll remember Joe Walsh (the mandolin player, not the ex-eagle) from his last performance at Birdsong where he was joined by world class fiddler, Brittany Haas. Joe has put together a supergroup of acoustic musicians and we are lucky to catch them on tour as they support their recent CD release Extrovert on Compass Records. The cheerfully named all star band, Mr. Sun, has four of the finest musicians on the American roots scene: Legendary fiddler Darol Anger, Professor  Emeritus at Berklee College of Music, who has released many solo albums in addition to his work with David Grisman and Mike Marshall, and founded the Turtle Island Quartet, Psychograss, and Republic of Strings;   Joe K. Walsh,  mandolin virtuoso and vocalist who spent four years with the award-winning bluegrass act the Gibson Brothers before becoming solo artist and songwriter and Strings Department Professor at Berklee; all-around guitar genius Grant Gordy, a former member of Dawg Music guru David Grisman’s band; and the phenomenal Scots bassist Aidan O’Donnell, who has backed harpist Maeve Gilchrist and countless modern Jazz heroes. We hope you will join us for a night of special music. Doors 6:30. Show 7:30. Seated event indoors. Alcohol served.
