Alison Brown with special guest Joe Craven
TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2011 AT 7:30 P.M.

Grammy winner Alison Brown takes the banjo and guitar far beyond their Appalachian roots, offering up an astonishingly original instrumental sound with a high-octane blend of bluegrass, jazz, Celtic and Latin influences that has been described as simply jaw-dropping. Bluegrass for jazzers, jazz for bluegrassers; something for everyone in between! An internationally recognized musician with a wide-reaching and loyal fan base, Brown first came to national prominence when she was asked by Alison Krauss to join her band Union Station in 1989.

“Like James Taylor’s voice or B.B. King’s guitar, Alison Brown’s banjo is an instrument possessed of a unique sonic signature and an inescapable beauty.“ — Billboard Magazine
