Concert – Tall Poppy String Band
Nov 3 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Concert – Tall Poppy String Band

Doors 7:00 pm; Music at 7:30 pm.  Admission: sliding scale $20 to $30.

Tall Poppy String Band is a brand new Old Time trio featuring fiddler George Jackson, guitarist Morgan Harris, and banjoist Cameron DeWhitt. Drawing from the deep well of American string band music, Tall Poppy String Band approaches tradition with playful curiosity; each performance more a discussion than a statement.

Whether they’re chasing the elusive downbeat of a source recording, playing with the pronouns in a bluegrass standard, or challenging the assumed roles of their instruments, Tall Poppy String Band endeavors to prove that tradition is still being written.
