Long recognized and praised as a creative force in acoustic music, Claire Lynch is a pioneer who continually pushes the boundaries of the bluegrass genre. Claire made history when she led the Front Porch String Band, which evolved in the 80’s and 90’s into “one of the sharpest and most exciting post-modern bluegrass bands on the circuit.” She formed her own Claire Lynch Band in 2005 and has consistently been a top pick of prestigious publications, critics and audiences across the nation ever since. The Claire Lynch Band features like-minded musicians blending tradition and innovation - two-time IBMA-winning bassist-clawhammer banjo player-dancer-percussionist Mark Schatz, mandolinist-guitarist Jarrod Walker and 22-year-old string wizard Bryan McDowell, who, at 18, took first place honors in the flatpicking guitar, mandolin and fiddle contests in Winfield, Kansas.

Opening will be Tony Watt & Southeast Expressway. This Boston-based group features Tony on guitar plus BB Bowness, banjo; Flynn Cohen, bass; and Laura Orshaw, fiddle. The band strives to make modern bluegrass music that is at once both beautiful yet powerful, hip yet traditional.

Advance ticket sales closed at 4 PM on April 2. Tickets will be available at the door. Student rush tickets for $15 will also be available at the door.
