Steve Smith and Hard Road, feat. Bill Evans & Megan Lynch
Performance Date: 4/9/10 at 8 p.m.
Steve Smith and Hard Road evolved into a full working group as a result of the success and chemistry of the musicians who came together to work on Steve's original live studio recording, Hard Road, released in 2004. This chemistry in the studio has led to an excellent rapport onstage, on the road, and in the songwriting and harmonies that have become the signature Hard Road sound.
The Hard Road lineup includes banjo super-picker Bill Evans, fiddle master Megan Lynch, Aaron McCloskey of Lyons, Colo., on guitar and bassist Bill Amatneek (original David Grisman Quintet member). Steve Smith, one of this generation's mandolin masters, and his smoky tenor voice, teams up with Minnesota songbird, Chris Sanders, to form the heart of the Hard Road signature sound, to perform their original bluegrass and acoustic vocal and instrumental music.
