Join us for a special concert—the HVBA debut of Grass Valley with an opener from the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers!
Grass Valley is a Hudson Valley bluegrass supergroup. Convened by HVBA president David Chernack, Grass Valley features veteran bluegrassers from different corners of the regional scene to take on hard-driving, mash-tastic bluegrass repertoire. Inspired by Union Station, IIIrd Tyme Out, Lonesome Standard Time, and Newfound Road, Grass Valley’s tight harmonies and driving instrumentals are a sight to behold. Grass Valley features Too Blue’s Joan Harrison on banjo, New Breaks’s Jim Sullivan on bass, HVBA board member Ali Krayer on mandolin, County Line Bluegrass’s David Chernack on guitar, and Strawberry Hill Fiddlers director Chelsea Needham on fiddle.
And speaking of SHF, the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers are a part of the Stringendo, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has been active in the Hudson Valley for over two decades. The Fiddlers teach young classically trained string students to learn world fiddling styles by ear, and have produced some great fiddlers over the years—including Grass Valley’s Chelsea Needham and David Chernack. Don’t miss this special show!
