A band of musicians have formed a new bluegrass band but they are not new to the bluegrass scene in Vermont. Northern Flyer will be showing their prowess at the Music Box in Craftsbury on Saturday, March 18 at 7:30 PM.
Four veteran Vermont musicians have joined together as Northern Flyer, combining first-rate harmonies with instrumental expertise. While their music rings with a hard-driving bluegrass authenticity, these four Flyers are by no means confined by the boundaries of the traditional bluegrass repertoire.
The band generated a notable buzz at its debut concert at the East Fairfield Meeting House on the Green “Vermont Treasures” concert series in October. Here are a few comments:
“Great band–they love singing and playing together and it really shows. A lot of humor as well. Can't wait to hear them again!” Marcia Brewster “These guys have great vocal and instrumental chemistry.” “I loved the mix of material.” “Fun!” “Great chops.” “This music is so approachable…and delivered with warmth.”
Members of this new band will be familiar to bluegrass fans: Andy Sacher on mandolin, Mark Struhsacher playing guitar, Andy Greene strumming the banjo and rounding out with Kirk Lord on bass. Much more can be found out about their pedigree at https://northernflyerbluegrass.com/
