Folks Come with Bearfoot!

Jul 14, 2008 8:45 pm
This Sat­ur­day, at 1:30, Trin­i­ty Wall Street presents Folk on the Island! The con­cert series will fea­ture Bear­foot, the Alaskan-based acoustic ensem­ble to Gov­er­nors Island. Their style reflects a vibrant mix­ing of jazz, blues, and blue­grass. In 2001, they won the Tel­luride music fes­ti­val’s Blue Grass Band Cham­pi­ons (a title they share with Nick­el Creek and the Dix­ie Chicks). On Sat­ur­day, 7⁄19, they will be pre­form­ing free on the Island, so please come out and join us to hear their sophis­ti­cat­ed inter­pre­ta­tion on clas­sic blue­grass style.
