Special show! Peter Feldmann presents: Bluegrass Etc.
Dennis Caplinger, John Moore, and Steve Spurgin
Here's a rare chance to see a fine trio based in three separate states: Bluegrass Etc. performs a hard-hitting show of instrumental expertise, vocal precision and stage personality that never fails to entertain. The group is well known internationally and tours more than eighteen countries per year, performing more than 200 shows annually at festivals and in concert. BLUEGRASS ETC consists of John Moore (mandolin, guitar, vocals), Dennis Caplinger (banjo, fiddle, vocals) and Steve Spurgin (bass, vocals). The band has its roots in bluegrass music, but has evolved over the years into a much more dynamic and eclectic acoustic band.
