The Banjo in America! Please join us on Saturday, March 21, as the Shady Grove Coffeehouse celebrates the vernal equinox with a concert featuring banjo virtuoso Bill Evans with his wife Babi. Banjo player extraordinaire Bill Evans has moved back to his native state of Virginia and the Shady Grove Coffeehouse is proud to present Bill in his first Richmond-area appearance since. Bill is the 2022 recipient of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize and is a member of the American Banjo Music Hall of Fame and regional music fans may remember him from his 1980's progressive bluegrass band Cloud Valley, featuring bassist Missy Raines. For this concert, Bill is presenting the Banjo In America in addition to playing a set of duets with his wife Babi. A duet of them playing "My Favorite Things" can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdJgC_R3x44. With the Banjo in America, Bill takes the listener on a musical adventure, following the banjo from its West African roots to the New World, performing musical examples from the 1700's to the present day on up to ten vintage instruments. From an 18th century African dance tune to the music of the Civil War, and from early 20th century ragtime to folk and bluegrass banjo styles to Bill's own original music and arrangements, The Banjo in America illuminates as well as entertains, exposing audiences to over 250 years of American musical traditions.
