Jan. 8 – LOREN BARRIGAR One could

just four years old he stunned his parents by picking up his father's
guitar and announcing he wanted to play "In the Mood" with his
dad. They humored him until Loren explained that his dad could take
either the rhythm part or the lead, whichever he preferred. Guitar
lessons were quickly arranged and two short years later Loren I played

March 12 – TONY TRISCHKA Tony Trischka
IS perhaps the most Influential banjo player In the roots music world
For more than 35 years. his stylings have inspired a whole generation of
bluegrass and acoustic musicians. He was not only considered among the
very best pickers, he was also one of the instrument's top teachers, and
created numerous instructional books, teaching video tapes and
cassettes. With fearless musical curiosity as the guiding force, Tony
Trischka's "Territory" roams widely through the banjo's
creative terrain. "Territory"
(Smithsonian Folkways/Ryko) is considerably more than a showcase for the
virtuoso banjo playing of Tony Trischka, though that may seem like its
principal function. The album is a full-bore banjo tutorial - Mr.
Trischka's track-by-track notes include 20 tunings and occastonal tips -
and a familial jaunt through folk and bluegrass terrain. Featured
on the CD are two up-and-coming acoustic artists who have toured
extensively with Tony: guitarist and singer Michael Daves, and fiddler
Brittany Haas. Mr. Trischka provides a steady connecting line, weaving
into his folk and bluegrass musical mix not only Celtic reels but also
West African kora music and Hawaiian slide guitar. |
