Brittany Haas is widely regarded as one of the most influential fiddlers of her generation. Having developed her unique fiddling style under the mentorship of Bruce Molsky and Darol Anger, at age fourteen she toured the world with Anger and the Republic of Strings. At seventeen, she released her debut solo album. With the “chamber-grass”band Crooked Still, Haas has made four recordings and toured internationally. She’s performed as part of Steve Martin’s bluegrass band on Late Night with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live, as well as with Bela Fleck, Abigail Washburn, Yonder Mountain String Band, and The Waybacks. In 2016, she joined the house band for MPR’s Live from Here (formerly A Prairie Home Companion).
Joe K. Walsh
Bassist/vocalist Brittany Karlson is an adventurous musician with roots in jazz, American old time and bluegrass, and improvised music. She’s performed across the USA, Canada, and Europe in a variety of ensemble settings, including improvised trio Letter Castle and American old-time/bluegrass/Swedish string band The Goodbye Girls. Karlson performs original songs under the moniker Karl, having released albums Feast Day and And the Green Grass Grows all Around.
An acclaimed master of American roots music, mandolinist and songwriter Joe K. Walsh has toured and collaborated with master musicians including Darol Anger and the Gibson Brothers, played with artists from John Scofield to Béla Fleck to Emmylou Harris, founded progressive string band Joy Kills Sorrow, and is currently on faculty at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Hailed by Nashville’s Music Row magazine for his “lickety-split mandolin work” and by Vintage Guitar magazine as “brilliant,” Walsh is considered one of the best mandolinists of his generation.
