Bluegrass Supergroup Barnstar! at the Kate November 10

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center is pleased to welcome Barnstar! on Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 7:00 pm.

Barnstar! began as the brainchild of Zachariah Hickman (bassist for Josh Ritter, musical director for Ray Lamontagne) for a local bluegrass supergroup featuring some of Boston’s best musicians and songwriters. Using the familiar tools of the genre – guitar (Mark Erelli), fiddle (Jake Armerding), mandolin (Taylor Armerding) and banjo (Charlie Rose) – Barnstar! forges its own brand of song-based bluegrass, gloriously harmonized and raucously played.

Up until now, the members of Barnstar! may have been best known by the company they keep as sidemen and accompanists. But in short order, the release of their album “Sit Down! Get Up! Get Out!” could very well turn the narrative upside down: suddenly, it’s Barnstar! that becomes the household name.
