DC BLUEGRASS UNION FEBFEST! For the month of February, Earp's Ordinary will be hosting Bluegrass bands every weekend!
GRAVEL ROAD BAND
The Gravel Road Band lives at the intersection of blues and bluegrass with live show thats unpredictably fresh: blues, bluegrass and R&B flavored concoctions that pour from the soul and will leave you shaken, stirred and smiling. We celebrate Watson, Withers, Monroe, and more with a mix with a soulful mandolin, soaring fiddle, gritty slide guitar along with swampy acoustic bass and percussion for a cool acoustic show that we call ‘Bluesgrass’.
CHARM CITY JUNCTION - CD RELEASE PARTY!
From dance inducing Old Time rhythms and foot stomping Irish melodies to hard-driving Bluegrass, Baltimore-based acoustic roots quartet Charm City Junction creates a fresh soundscape that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats wondering where they'll go next. Featuring fiddle, clawhammer banjo, button accordion and upright bass, this quartet isn’t afraid to take roots music to new places — but always with an eye on tradition. Formed in 2014, Charm City Junction has taken the acoustic music scene by storm performing around the country gaining high praise along the way for their high-energy, captivating and dynamic performances. Patrick McAvinue, 2017 IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year, takes charge with his virtuosic, powerful and musical approach to the fiddle. Clawhammer banjo wizard Brad Kolodner adds his playful, driving, melodic and groovy Old-Time touch. Sean McComiskey, soars through the tunes and fills the gaps with his soulful button accordion playing. The versatile bassist Alex Lacquement drives the train, locking everything together with his commanding and tasteful choices. Drawing from separate musical backgrounds, the four members have found a common ground on which to develop their unique approach. Their latest album Salt Box releases February 2nd on Fenchurch Music.
