Praised by National Public Radio for their “upbeat, poppy vibe; energetic, driving rhythms; and virtuosic solos,” Twisted Pine [Boston] takes traditional music in exhilarating directions. “We’re rooted in bluegrass,” writes bassist Chris Sartori, “continually inspired by explorers like Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Sierra Hull. Our bluegrass is jazzy, our indie folk is poppy, our grooves are funky.” Twisted Pine is Kathleen Parks on fiddle and lead vocals, Dan Bui on mandolin, Sartori on bass, and Anh Phung on flute. You may have caught Twisted Pine at Telluride, RockyGrass, MeadowGrass, WinterWondergrass. Their most recent release is the cosmic full-length Right Now [Signature Sounds Recordings], which The Boston Herald called “progressive bluegrass or maybe chamber folk, or prog rock, or jazz fusion or just pop with an experimental bent. Whatever the genre, give the group a bluegrass Grammy for good measure.” Twisted Pine will be releasing another full-length record in October.
Bar opens at 5 PM and happy hour from open to 7 PM. (21+) The Velvet Elk Lounge does not allow minors – No Exceptions.
