The Delaney Brothers w/Nick Piccininni

Friday, May 10th    8PM
$15 General / $12 KAC Members / $5 Students

Founded in 1981, two-time SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music Award) winners Delaney Brothers Bluegrass is one of central NY’s oldest and best-loved bluegrass bands.  However, their music is more than just bluegrass – it’s influenced by many other acoustic traditions such as country, folk, gospel, and celtic.

From the smooth, warm vocals of lead singer John and tight family harmonies with his older brother Ray and son Jonathan, to Nick’s smokin’ banjo (and fiddle!) playing, fans are treated to a musical experience that puts a smile on their faces and sets toes to tapping!

The band’s latest CD release entitled “Generations” reflects not only the passing of the musical torch from one generation to the next, but also the melding of the two found within the band itself.  This is represented clearly in the project’s tracklist, which includes several songs written by their youngest member, banjo player Nick Piccininni, as well as traditional selections composed by bluegrass forefathers like the late Bill Monroe.

The Steel Wheels

Friday, June 7th    8PM
$15 General / $12 KAC Members / $5 Students

“The Steel Wheels Lay Down, Lay Low is a perfect blend of harmony and strings that take you back to the old home place where it was a joy to be alive.” -Larry Winters, KPFT Houston, TX

“If one must compare The Steel Wheels to another act in order to get an idea of their music, imagine a blend of the passion of The Avett Brothers, the instrumentals of Old Crow Medicine Show, and then sprinkle in the backwoods feel of The Legendary Shack Shakers. In truth, attempting to compare them with anyone is an injustice, since after one listen you can hear that they stand very well on their own perch.” – John Walker, Americana Roots
