Bluegrass Intentions
Friday, May 11, 2007
sterling traditional bluegrass quintet
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $18.50

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, both on stage and on their CD, Older Than Dirt.
