The Anger-Walsh-Gordy Quartet, a “21st Century String Band,” featuring virtuosos Darol Anger, Joe Walsh, Grant Gordy, and Karl Doty will be in concert at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts on Saturday, March 15, 2014.
The North Shore Music Association will present the Anger-Walsh-Gordy Quartet at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m. March 15.
Legendary fiddler Darol Anger, guitar whiz Grant Gordy, and mandolinist Joe Walsh have all spent their lives moving from place to place, adopting a town and then moving on, toward an intimate knowledge of the physical and psychic terrains that make up the Americas. Though each is of a different generation, they’ve walked similar musical paths, exploring the worlds of bluegrass, blues, jazz, and old-time, on their way to mastery of their chosen instruments.
Over the years, they have each become virtuosos of the vast swath of dialects that comprise American roots music. In the ever-stable bassist Karl Doty they found a kindred musical spirit, equally skilled in folk, jazz and classical music, a founding member of one of the premier chamber orchestras in the U.S. Making a musical home for themselves in the space around and between the great American roots styles, this quartet draws from all of their varied backgrounds in crafting a sound all their own, and is drawing all the right kind of attention for their new musical work.
