innovative traditionalists
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Veterans of Dry Branch Fire Squad, High Country, and the California Cajun Orchestra, the Bluegrass Intentions combine impeccable musicianship with a superb command of harmony to create roots-based bluegrass music that brims with ebullience and sparkles with creativity. Whether re- working material from a Library of Congress field recording, adapting a Cajun two-step, or reinventing a Flatt & Scruggs or Jimmy Martin classic, these genre-bending traditionalists love making music together, and it shows!

Bill Evans' hard-driving banjo, Suzy Thompson's toe- tapping fiddling and Eric Thompson's emotive mandolin and guitar picking are superbly framed by guitarist Alan Senauke's rhythmic intensity, and Larry Cohea's pulse-steady doghouse bass. Add Suzy, Alan, and Bill's powerful vocals, and you've got a recipe for a truly unstoppable old-time groove, whether on stage or on their album, Older Than Dirt.
