SUMMARY:On the Trail
DESCRIPTION:On the Trail\nFriday\, February 27 at 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6:30 PM)\nTickets: $25 \nOn the Trail is a modern acoustic band that explores everything from bluegrass to contemporary pop\, from stunning instrumentals to beautiful traditional songs. A special collaboration between On the Trail and a classical string quartet will bring together the classical and bluegrass communities\, featuring bluegrass\, country\, western swing\, and American-inspired classical music. \nThis program\, originally performed in collaboration with the New Haven Symphony\, will be used as inspiration for other symphonies and quartets interested in closing the gap between vernacular\, commercial American styles and American classical music. \n \nOn the Trail was founded through their mutual love of bluegrass and the Punch Brothers band. They have already gained recognition and praise for their exploration and strong execution of challenging music and their new original music. \nIn 2024\, On the Trail performed throughout the northeast\, including the Podunk Bluegrass Festival\, the Ossipee Valley Music Festival\, the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival\, and Bluegrass in Heaven in Lake George\, NY. In 2022\, On the Trail had the honor of winning the Thomas Point Beach Band Competition after participating in 2021’s Telefunken Battle of the Bands at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival. They were also selected as an Emerging Artist at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in 2023. \nOn The Trail features Austin Scelzo (fiddle and vocals)\, Tom Polizzi (mandolin and vocals)\, Charlie Widmer (guitar and vocals)\, and Matt Curley (upright bass and vocals). Their debut self-titled EP\, On the Trail\, is also available for streaming on all platforms. \nVisit onthetrailbluegrass.com to learn more.
