GW Lisner Auditorium presents Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas & Edgar Meyer
Mandolin/fiddle champion Sam Bush, dobro master Jerry
Douglas and bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer join forces in a new collaborative
project featuring genre-crossing original works, traditional tunes, and some of
their best-known pieces.
"Any mandolinist will tell you: Sam
Bush is THE guy. He's a traditionalist and an innovator, a soloist and a
bandleader, a brain and a goofball. Or, as one jazzed fan put it, 'a sick
picker and a happy singer.'" - Associated Press
"Watching Douglas is a
challenge in itself. The fingers on his right hand were a blur as they picked
the strings. His left hand cupped a metal slide, which he rubbed and pressed
against the neck of his instrument, bearing down when necessary and using a
feather-light touch to hit ringing harmonics." The times union
[Meyer is] "a virtuoso bassist ... as comfortable playing
and composing for symphony orchestras as he is jamming"-Echoes
