Join MCMC for a performance and interactive discussion with Brittany Haas, one of the most influential fiddlers of her generation.

Join us on Monday, April 17 at 7 pm for an online performance by and Q&A session with Brittany Haas. Haas is widely regarded as one of the most influential fiddlers of her generation. A prodigious fiddler, she began touring with Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings at the age of fourteen. At seventeen, Haas released her debut, self-titled solo album. She was a member of the seminal “chamber-grass” band Crooked Still, with whom she has made four recordings and toured the world. She has performed on Late Night With David Letterman and Saturday Night Live as part of Steve Martin’s bluegrass band, and features on Martin’s Grammy-winning album “The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo.” Over the years, Haas has performed and collaborated with Bela Fleck, Abigail Washburn, Tony Trischka, Lena Jonsson, Yonder Mountain String Band, Chris Thile, The Waybacks, Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas (her cellist sister), and more.

Her quartet Hawktail (featuring bassist Paul Kowert of Punch Brothers, guitarist Jordan Tice, and mandolinist Dominick Leslie) is currently touring the U.S. in support of their latest album “A Place of Growth”, including a performance at Higher Ground in South Burlington on Saturday March 18. “A Place of Growth” is the group’s third and most conceptual album, following up their well-received earlier efforts “Formations” and “Unless.”
