If four banjo aces under the Freight roof at once sounds like a good time to you, don't miss the chance to let J. D. Crowe, Tom Adams, Bill Evans, and Murphy Henry, and knock your socks off with this evening's pickfest extraordinaire. The four master players will be featured in a variety of settings, from solo numbers to blow-off-the-roof quadruple banjo extravaganzas, with the very finest of backup bands -- Laurie Lewis on bass, second fiddle, and vocals, Tom Rozum on mandolin and vocals, Bluegrass Intentions vocalist and guitarist Alan Senauke, and fiddler Chad Clouse (Due West, David Grisman Bluegrass Experience).

For over four decades, Lexington, Kentucky-born banjo legend J.D. Crowe has been in the vanguard of bluegrass musicians, first as a picker and then as the leader of his trailblazing band, the New South. Recognized in 1994 as Banjo Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, he is regarded as the quintessential Scruggs-style banjoist, a consummate craftsman with flawless timing and fullness of tone.

The 2002 International Bluegrass Music Association's Banjo Player of the Year, Gettysburg, PA-based Tom Adams gained banjo stardom with various groups including Jimmy Martin's Sunny Mountain Boys, the Lynn Morris Band, Blue Highway, and (currently) with Dale Ann Bradley & Coon Creek.

Known for his superb playing in both traditional and progressive bluegrass styles, Virginia native Bill Evans has spent the past two and a half decades creating a sound that is both deeply rooted and fresh, playing solo, in groups like the Bluegrass Intentions, Due West, and the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, and with Peter Rowan and Tony Trischka.

Winchester, Virginia-based Murphy Henry, who created the well-known "Murphy Method" of bluegrass instrumental instruction, has been playing and teaching banjo for nearly three decades, and has performed on numerous recordings including ten with Red and Murphy, the band she and her husband have had for 26 years.
