Banjo master Tony Trischka returns to Unity Hall after bringing Earl Jam to a sold-out Barneveld crowd two years ago. Earl Jam 2 will take place in the Landecker Theater on Friday, March 20 at 7:30 PM.
Trischka’s acclaimed Earl Jam album was released in 2024 after he received rare recordings of Earl Scruggs jamming with John Hartford. Having studied Scruggs for more than 60 years, Trischka was inspired by new discoveries in Scruggs’s solos to create this tribute. Earl Jam 2 expands the project with more of these solos, celebrating Scruggs’s legacy in an authentic way.
Tony is joined by Michael Daves on vocals and guitar, fiddler Nate Lee, and bassist Jared Engel.
Earl Jam 2 begins at 7:30 PM at Unity Hall, 101 Vanderkemp Ave, Barneveld. Tickets and details are available at unityhall.com/events.
“When the great Tony Trischka starts playing his banjo, the clouds part, the sun shines, and for a while it feels like all’s well with the world. Joined by some of his all-star friends on Earl Jam it becomes a festival of joy that you can’t afford to miss.”
– Sean Wilentz (American Historian)
