Bring your dancin’ shoes for this evening of hand-clappin’, toe-tappin’ fun.
The Annapolis Bluegrass Coalition, one of the most popular acts in the region, returns to the Music in the Park stage Saturday, August 30th. Using the traditional combination of banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and bass, the group mixes soulful four-part vocal harmony and hard-driving solo work.
The group’s members are Roger Green on guitar, lead and harmony vocals; Dan Kimball on mandolin, lead and tenor vocals; Sue Tice on fiddle, and harmony vocals; Bob Tice on banjo, and harmony vocals and Jim Duvall on the acoustic bass fiddle. Fans of the group are especially fond of Sue Tice’s fiddle work, which draws on deep bluegrass roots as well as classical violin technique The band’s repertoire includes originals – many by Green – and old-time classics like “Salty Dog Blues” and “Fire on the Mountain.” Tice’s fiddle feature, “Orange Blosssom Special” is always a crowd pleaser. The band also adapts tunes from more recent composers such as Richard Thompson’s “Vincent Black Lightning 1952,” and the evocative fiddle instrumental, “Ashoken Farewell.”
Annapolis Bluegrass has recorded two CDs, one of which documents a live performance at the Prince Theatre. Both feature traditional numbers as well as the band’s foot-tapping originals, written primarily by Green. Sue Tice has also released several CDs under her own name. CDs will be available for purchase at the concert.
