Scott Hopkins Bluegrass Trio

“Scott Hopkins has certainly proven he deserves to stand with the best instrumentalist in progressive bluegrass, and his debut CD gives fans of hot picking a chance to hear some of the best young players around stretch out and interact on some challenging and interesting new tunes.” - Ivan Rosenberg, Bluegrass Unlimited

The Scott Hopkins Bluegrass Trio features Scott on banjo, David Chernack on guitar, mandolin and fiddle, and Dylan Perillo on bass.

The group has a big sound for three musicians and repertoire includes originals, 3-part harmony singing, hot instrumentals and incredible musicianship all around.

• Scott Hopkins: banjo.
• David Chernack: raised in Hyde Park, NY; double majored at Brandeis University in environmental studies and history with a minor in music. He is now back in the Hudson Valley to pursue his MS in environmental policy at Bard Center for Environmental Policy.
• Dylan Perillo: conservatory trained upright bassist, composer and arranger from New York’s capital region who maintains an active performance schedule within the early jazz and folk music circles. He enjoys composing original music for his own groups and writing/arranging music for fellow musicians and singer-songwriters.
