Celebrating the New Stars of American Roots Music
Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 8pm
Stewart Theatre
Drawing from the worlds of acoustic, folk, country and bluegrass, American Revival brings you a taste of the most exciting young artists in these genres today. Award-winning mandolin player Sierra Hull is 17 and has already earned the respect of the bluegrass world for her picking and singing alike; Uncle Earl is a quartet of women who write and perform original music drawing on the traditions of old-time string bands; The Dixie Bee-Liners are known for their high-octane harmonies and stunningly beautiful original songs. Already well-known across the country from playing such prestigious events as MerleFest, Telluride Bluegrass, the Grand Ole Opry and Prairie Home Companion, this program brings these exceptional musicians together for the first time for an amazing evening of new and old American music. Presented in partnership with PineCone.
Pre-show conversation with William Lewis, executive director of PineCone, and Brandi Hart of the Dixie Bee-Liners. 6:45pm, South Gallery, Talley Student Center
