The Bill Frisell Trio is one of the most sought-after guitar voices in contemporary music, combining original compositions with time-honored jazz and folk songs. This performance features his long-time bass player, Tony Scherr (bass) and Rudy Royston (drums). “It’s hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell. Mixing rock and country with jazz and blues, he’s found what connects them: improvisation and a sense of play.” – The New York Times

Think of traditional African-American music and the genres that come to mind are gospel, blues and jazz; few people think of old-time string band music. But the antebellum combination of banjo and fiddle is a time-honored tradition in most black rural communities in the south. The Carolina Chocolate Drops, a band of three young and talented musicians, are part of the revival of this venerable musical tradition. Presented in conjunction with the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival.

Reggie Wayne Morris hails from Baltimore and he plays the blues with an infectious passion. Having spent a great deal of his childhood on his grandparents' farm outside of Charlottesville, VA, he was reared on gospel at their local Southern Baptist Church. The blues was also a part of family life, fueled by guitar, piano and harmonica playing family members. Over the years Reggie has developed an upbeat, rockin' style that pays homage to those who bore witness and spread the blues news from generation to generation.

The Greencards return to Carnegie Hall to close out the season. Their new CD, Viridian, debuted at # 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart, a first for a foreign act.

Corey Harris and the 5 X 5 Band

Born in Denver, CO, Corey Harris first picked up the guitar at age 12, and by high school, he was playing in rock bands. "Harris turns his attention to reggae — real roots reggae, not the often unrecognizable spinoffs that pass for it today. At times, [Harris' music] is virtually indistinguishable from the righteous, spiritually motivated, Rasta-centered reggae that first emerged from Jamaica in the early '70s..."
