Come join us on Sept. 14th, 7:30 pm, for a return engagement of The Bluegrass Gospel Project. This group has been impressing audiences with expertly-rendered performances since its inception in 2001, and has become "one of New England's premier concert acts" (Seven Days). At its start, the BGP focused primarily on that music from which they drew their name. Over the years, and hundreds of concerts later, the band's repertoire has comfortably morphed into an eclectic mix of songs which exhibit a wide stylistic range within the acoustic tradition and showcases the group's stunning vocal capabilities. Yet throughout the playlist, there still remains a thread of spiritual sensibility, an expression of common values held by people of all faiths and backgrounds, in addition to a recognition of the struggles of the human condition. With folk, pop, and bluegrass and gospel songs that range from U2 to Stanley Brothers, from Dylan to Louvin Brothers, from Sam Cooke to Steve Earle, from Bela Fleck to Brett Dennen, the BGP's repertoire now defies easy categorization and continues to thrill audiences with their impeccable vocal and instrumental performances.
