Jazzgrass November 13, 2025 @ 6:00 - 7:30 pm Jazzgrass was formed in 1999 by Barnaby Finch to honor the newer and more progressive side of Bluegrass music. He was originally smitten with the music of a short-lived all-star band, put together at the Telluride Festival, called "Strength In Numbers". Jazzgrass originally had Sean and Sara Watkins, soon to be very famous with Nickel Creek, and Kevin Hennessy on bass. Nickel Creek burst onto the scene, and that was the end of that lineup. In 2011, Barnaby wanted to perform that music again, and recruited some talented locals to play. There's Lily McCabe on fiddle, a talented young lady with a gorgeous tone, who plays for the Troubadours at the Ramona Festival. Lily is also a wonderful singer, and we’re featuring her on quite a few vocal tunes. We have Don Reed on mandolin, dobro, and guitar. He's a famous Idyllwild musician who's performed with J.J. Cale, Dick Dale, Ian Tyson, and Jackie de Shannon. There's Jeremie Levi on fiddle, a virtuoso from France who’s a fixture in the Coachella Valley, known for his fiery Gypsy Swing concerts, and is a frequent and popular performer. On bass is Bill Saitta, one […]
