BRATTLEBORO — The Jeremy Kittel Band brings its bluegrass-Celtic-gypsy-jazz to the Hooker Dunham Theater in Brattleboro on Friday, July 10, at 7:30 p.m.
Grammy-nominated fiddler Jeremy Kittel was a five-year member of the Turtle Island String Quartet, and works with artists from My Morning Jacket to Aoife O'Donovan. His latest CD Chasing Sparks (Compass) features Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer. This year, Kittel has teamed up with Florida mandolin prodigy Josh Pinkham and Vancouver guitar whiz Quinn Bachand for a summer tour.
All three artists are described as spiritual sons of Sam Bush and David Grisman, Django Reinhardt, and Irish fiddler Martin Hayes.
“There's so much exciting energy here,” Kittel, who is involved in projects from solo to full orchestras, said in a news release. “A trio can be just as powerful - and sometimes even more powerful - than large-scale music. I have so much fun with these guys!”
