The Blackstone Valley Bluegrass boys will kick of the Clark's outdoor concert series on July 20, 2010.
Bluegrass in the Berkshires is a rare and wonderful treat, and you can get a kickin’, pickin’, and strummin’ fix on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 as the Blackstone Valley Bluegrass band kicks off the Clark Art Museum’s summer outdoor concerts series at 6:00 pm.
Blackstone Valley Bluegrass is becoming one the most sought after bands in New England. With powerful three and four part harmonies and fast but tasteful picking, these musicians are blazing new ground throughout the Blackstone Valley and beyond.
Together almost eleven years, Blackstone Valley Bluegrass features renowned banjo picker Dave Dick, his brother Bob Dick on guitar, Dan Nowlan on mandolin, and Ken Taylor on upright bass. Bob, Dave, Dan, and Ken have all played in other bands—Salamander Crossing, Northern Lights and Front Range—but it is together in Blackstone Valley Bluegrass where they really shine. They have the best time when they’re on stage and jokes fly as fast as the notes. The members swap blistering solos and even instruments, and they harmonize like angels.
Following BVBG will be Viva Quetzal on Tueday July 27, 2010 at 6:00 PM.
The Clark says: “Bring your family and friends, a picnic, blankets, and lawn chairs to the Clark for this Berkshire tradition. The galleries will remain open until 6 pm on band concert evenings. In the event of rain, the concerts will be held in the auditorium. Barbeque fare will be available for purchase during the concerts.”
This program is supported in part by Williamstown Savings Bank.
