The Chris Silver Band -Bluegrass
Saturday, September 24 2011, 7:30pm - 9:30pm

Chris Silver plays roots music, but it doesn't stop there. Chris' music is transcendent and his originals travel a huge landscape of experience and place. He has created a new sound with traditional roots music at the core. As a musical risk taker, he has added layers not usually found in traditional music providing a rich texture to his songs including slide guitar and intricate global rhythms. His eclectic approach in playing, bluegrass blues, folk and jam band music has shaped Silver's songs to the point that they could be compared to Ry Cooder's early '70s recordings. In a given set, you are as likely to hear a song by Lowell George as a tune by Doc Watson. Chris spent fives years touring with the acclaimed bluegrass band Stoney Lonesome, and When Kate MacKenzie left the band in 1994, she asked Chris to tour with her. Chris and Kate toured coast-to-coast for three years playing major festivals including The Strawberry Music Festival in California, The Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival, and numerous appearances on National Public Radio's A Prairie Home Companion. One thing is for sure, his energy is infectious and he'll leave you wanting more. For more info, visit their websites: www.chrissilverband.com
