A key figure in US roots music since the late 1970s, when he co-founded the bluegrass band Hot Rize, Grammy-winner Tim O’Brien masterfully bridges the realms of Appalachian tradition, progressive bluegrass and contemporary folk with his band featuring Arty McGlynn, Dermot Byrne, and John McCusker.
A gifted singer-songwriter, he’s also long been rated as one of the best pickers in the business, showcasing all these talents on his 2008 release Chameleon, a collection of all-new songs individually accompanied on guitar, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, and mandola, as well as his trusty fiddle.
With their recently rejigged and expanded line-up, progressive bluegrass quintet Crooked Still won a slate of a career-best reviews in 2008 for their third album Still Crooked. Fronted by the heart-melting vocals of Aoife O’Donovan, with instrumentation including fiddle, cello, banjo, double bass and guitar, their artfully distinctive arrangements of traditional and modern songs with finger-licking tunes have established them among the hottest young acts on today’s Americana scene.
