Tony Trischka’s Holiday Show; Of A Winter’s Night

"Tony Trischka is known as the father of modern bluegrass" – NY Times.

Of a Winter’s Night is Tony Trischka’s acoustic celebration of the holiday season. Based on his 2015 CD release of the same name, recorded at Levon Helm’s Barn in Woodstock, NY, this show features a wide variety of seasonal tunes where he turns his melodic inventiveness loose on bluegrass and Americana music for the holidays.

Joined by multi-instrumentalist and shape-note singer Tim Eriksen, Trischka and Eriksen put a warm spin on a wealth of festive fare. They have invited Hannah Read to join them on guitar, violin, and vocals. They are joined by Jared Engel on bass and vocals and Sean Trischka on vocals and drums.

• Tim Eriksen — multi-instrumentalist & shape-note singer (has worked with T Bone Burnett on the soundtrack for the film Cold Mountain)
• Hannah Read — guitar, violin, vocals
• Jared Engel — bass and vocals
• Sean Trischka — vocals and drums

Performing from the 1844 hymnbook Sacred Harp, some of the evening’s songs date back to the Revolutionary era. Other selections range from classics such as "Come All Ye Faithful" to lesser-known tunes like The Pretenders’ "2000 Miles" and Trischka’s "Christmas Morn." Old-time holiday fiddle music joins with classically influenced carols. Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie songs are juxtaposed with the hard-driving bluegrass flavor of "Christmas Time’s A’Comin’."

A diverse, highly textural seasonal collection, Trischka revels in songs long forgotten and little known.

Infants and children under 6 are not permitted in the venue for amplified night time shows due to sound levels and crowded conditions.
