What does bluegrass fiddle sound like?
For generations of musicians, the answer has been Kenny Baker.
Best known for his decades with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, Baker's elegant long-bow style helped define the sound of modern bluegrass. His influence can still be heard in fiddlers across the world, and his landmark recording Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe remains required listening for anyone who loves bluegrass music.
In celebration of Kenny Baker's 100th birthday (and the 50th anniversary of "Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe") award-winning fiddler and educator Sarah Larsen presents a special evening of music, stories, and history honoring one of bluegrass music's most beloved figures.
Joined by an all-star band featuring Jim Pankey (banjo), Ryan Rogers (mandolin), Cory Chubb (guitar), and Rob Parks (bass), Sarah will perform the entire Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe album live, along with additional selections from Baker's remarkable career.
Whether you're a lifelong bluegrass fan, a fiddler who wore out your copy of this record, or simply someone who appreciates great American music, this is a rare opportunity to experience the legacy of a true master.
