Punch Brothers with Chris Thile; Crooked Still; Sandra Wong and the New Trad Trio

Caramoor presents its first New Shoots Festival with three groups that are transforming and re-interpreting the traditions of bluegrass and traditional music. The Punch Brothers, featuring virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile - renowned for his incredible spontaneity and restless imagination - is the hottest group to be creating wide - ranging music out of the worlds of bluegrass, folk, and chamber music. Crooked Still, the hot young alternative bluegrass group whose soaring vocals and high-wire solos have enraptured audiences all over North America, is on a mission to bend the boundaries of traditional music, From Irish, Old-time, and Bluegrass to Swedish folk music, Sandra Wong-fiddle and nyckelharpa-is a veritable encyclopedia of traditional musics from around the globe.

Legendary pianist and singer, Dr. John (Right Place Wrong Time; Such a Night) has been cookin' up a gumbo of New Orleans-style R&B, blues, rock and boogie-woogie since the 60's. A celebrated icon and peerless performer, this classic rocker with the legendary gravely drawl and a buoyant riot of swamp-voodoo piano grooves, is at the top of his game and ready to bring the Saturday night party to Caramoor.
