Wide Open Spaces plays "bluegrass without borders" with overtones
of Alison Krauss, Claire Lynch, Kate Wolf, Bill Monroe, Newgrass
Revival and the Beatles.
Combining the traditional sounds of fiddle,
banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass with modern song-writing, jazzy
rock-edged arrangements and tight 3 part harmonies, they take
audiences on a musical joy ride that has some people saying: "I
can't believe that's bluegrass!"
Anything can happen - and
usually does.
The 'Spaces' are comprised of former members of the newgrass
stew pot known as Acoustic Planet, bluegrass wunderkinds The
Oakhurst Boys, along with Mud Rocheleau-Demers of the famed
acoustic duo, Chuck and Mud. Whether you prefer beautiful Celtic
fiddle reels, rockin' guitar solos, banjos from the far side of
a distant galaxy, Beatle-esque and Alison Krauss style harmonies
- or original songs sometimes reminiscent of Jimmy Buffet,
Dave Brubeck, and Doyle Lawson - come join the Spaces for an
evening of good-humored musical alchemy.
