NYC Bluegrass & Craft Beer Night with Cricket Tell the Weather

Songwriter-based acoustic string band from New York City, Cricket Tell the Weather, will be bringing their original, independent take on bluegrass and folk to Yonkers, NY on Saturday, February 20th, at 8:00pm for the “Urban H20 at Home” concert series.

Brooklyn based Cricket Tell the Weather, a folk roots project of fiddler/singer/songwriter Andrea Asprelli, showcases award-winning original songs delivered with honest vocals and supported by some of NYC’s finest acoustic musicians. Winners of the 2013 FreshGrass Award, Cricket has toured throughout the Northeast US since releasing their self-titled debut album last year. Cricket’s second album, composed of original, contemporary songs with an independent bluegrass and old-time feel, is due out this summer.

Front-woman Andrea Asprelli came to the east coast from Colorado’s front range. A classical musician from an early age, she was introduced to folk and traditional music while studying in Canterbury, England. She came back to the states to find a lush community of folk and bluegrass musicians, and found many homes within them throughout New York and New England that supported and nurtured her as a songwriter, vocalist, and fiddler. In 2011, she won the Podunk Bluegrass Songwriting Competition for her co-written song “Remington,” the opening track of Cricket’s debut album. Cricket Tell the Weather has toured much of the northeast and mid-Atlantic, finding a home in the bluegrass and folk worlds alike. Andrea will be joined by a quartet of some of NYC’s finest acoustic roots musicians.

All tickets include free craft beer from the award winning Captain Lawrence Brewery. Reservations are required for the show, reserve your seat at beth@imix.org. Show location in the Park Hill neighborhood in Yonkers will be emailed to you upon reservation. Pre-show craft beer and artisan cheese tasting sponsored by Garden Gourmet Market begins at 6:30pm with separate reservation.

“[Asprelli’s] contemporary spin on inherited forms is very much part of the American musical tradition.” - Jeremy Goodwin, The Boston Globe

“[Asprelli’s] down-to-earth, unaffected vocal delivery is refreshing, and both Jeff Picker’s and Goldstein’s solo[s] will give you chills. ” - New York Music Daily
