This year’s concert brings together some of the finest talents in bluegrass, including Bill Evans (banjo), Jim Nunally (guitar), Chad Manning (fiddle), Sharon Gilchrist (bass), Mike Witcher (dobro), Nell Robinson (vocals) and Max Schwartz (bass). These musicians have performed together in various combinations for decades and for this year’s tour, the Reunion returns to a focus on their own original compositions along with paying tribute to California songwriters and tunesmiths. Bill Evans Bill Evans has been involved with bluegrass music and the world of the banjo as a player, teacher, composer, writer and historian for over forty-five years. He is a recipient of the coveted Steve Martin Banjo Prize, is a member of the American Banjo Museum’s Hall of Fame and the author of “ Banjo for Dummies .” He occupies a unique niche in the banjo world: celebrated worldwide for his traditional as well as progressive bluegrass banjo styles as well as his innovative original compositions, he also enjoys a reputation as an outstanding instructor. In over twenty-seven years as a California-based performer, he has performed with David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Alan Munde, Jody Stecher, Eric & Suzy Thompson, David Bromberg, Tony Trischka, and Kathy Kallick among many others. He hosts six instructional courses for Peghead Nation. For more, visit billevansbanj
