Wilson Banjo Co. Bluegrass Band
Event Details
Date: 7 pm Friday, Nov. 17
Location: Newport Branch (901 East Sixth St.)
If you need a dose of bluegrass this fall, the Wilson Banjo Co. is bringing just that to the library. Stick around after the concert for a short reception and an opportunity to get autographs.
The band includes the group’s namesake Steve Wilson on the banjo, who first developed a love of playing music with his family. Later in life, he found himself working at the Gibson Custom Art Shop in Nashville, TN, where many of the special orders were for a long, distinguished list of players. He learned from the best!
Maine native Sarah Logan joins Wilson as the vocalist and fiddle player. Currently a student at East Tennessee State University, Logan majors in their bluegrass program and lists Alison Krauss, Adam Steffey, Jerry Douglas and Stuart Duncan among her influences.
Registration opens two months prior to the program.
