Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum celebrate the Thanksgiving season with an evening showcasing gorgeous songs new and old, fabulous fiddling, dextrous mandolin, and two fabulous guests: guitarist David Grier and upright bassist Todd Phillips.

Native Berkeleyite Laurie's songwriting, fiddling, and crystal-clear singing have brought her national recognition, a Grammy, and two International Bluegrass Music Association Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year. Through her many band and solo outings, Laurie has become a key figure in bluegrass, traditional, and folk music circles. Tom, a native New Englander, began his collaboration with Laurie when he added his mandolin, mandola, guitar, vocal talent, and wry humor to Laurie's Grant Street String Band. Their most recent recording collaboration is last year's album of traditional and old-time tunes, Guest House (HighTone).

David ranges from furious newgrass progressions to improvisations that fuse bluegrass flatpicking with the break-out sensibilities of jazz guitar. Todd, who has won two Grammy awards as a bassist and record producer, sets the groove when he's not off on one of his solo flights. Join them all at the Freight for a hot night of musical gems delivered with great energy and incomparable flare.
