Club Passim, Harvard Square @ 8pm

Matt Brown, Ben Krakauer, & Brittany Haas share a love of
traditional American folk music. They have collectively performed with Darol
Anger, Tim O'Brien, David Grisman, and Steve Martin (yes, THAT Steve Martin).
With songs and instrumentals featuring fiddles, banjos, and guitars, they have a
remarkable synergy that is entertaining and exhilarating. Though they've
all played together in various formations, this is the inaugural appearance for
this trio.
Visit our friends Woody & Beth's Old-Timey website, they're the Bradford Bog People!
Check out my friend Will Fielding's most beautiful banjo, the "North Star".
He's the one who made my "Rooster" banjo. They are both incredible banjos... this is an unpaid endorsement! Warning, this is a 1.9Mb PDF file.
