Based in the New York-Connecticut area, Cricket Tell the Weather is
an indie string band featuring bluegrass-inspired original music.
Winners of the 2013 FreshGrass Award, Cricket is rooted in the bluegrass
tradition, and expands to include rock, pop, and chamber ensemble
elements. Award-winning songwriters Andrea Asprelli (fiddle) and Jason
Borisoff (guitar) received a blue ribbon in 2011 at the Podunk Bluegrass
Festival Songwriting Competition for their co-written song “Remington”.
They are joined by NYC native Doug Goldstein on the banjo and Jeff
Picker on bass from Portland, OR. The band has twice been awarded the
Neighborhood Arts & Heritage Grant from the City of Bridgeport, and
is actively involved in providing bluegrass workshops to to students of
all ages under their “American Roots Revival” workshop series. Committed
to respecting and furthering the traditions of American music, the
quartet’s voice carries a new spirit that explores a century of
influences, owing as much to the traditions that inspired bluegrass to
the journey that follows.
