Friday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m.—Rutland—Acclaimed banjo virtuoso Noam Pikelny will take the stage for an evening of masterful musicianship and bluegrass innovation. Recognized as one of the finest banjoists of his generation, Pikelny is a founding member of the Punch Brothers, a group praised by The Boston Globe as “a virtuosic revelation” and described by The New Yorker as “wide-ranging and restlessly imaginative.”
Pikelny’s accolades include the first-ever Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass, two International Bluegrass Music Association Banjo Player of the Year awards, and a Grammy for Best Folk Album in 2019 for “All Ashore with the Punch Brothers.” In addition to his solo work, Pikelny has been performing with the new bluegrass supergroup Mighty Poplar and co-hosting “The Energy Curfew Music Hour,” a podcast with Chris Thile and Punch Brothers, released by Audible in Fall 2024.
This “can’t miss” evening with Pikelny promises dazzling technique, deep musicality, and a showcase of bluegrass at its finest. Tickets are $25-$40 and available now.
