DAROL ANGER & Mr Sun

VIRTUAL CONCERT from RICHMOND CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, Richmond, VT

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2022 - 7:00 p.m. EST

(ALSO AVAILABLE ON DEMAND FOR 48 HOURS FOLLOWING THE PREMIERE)

Valley Stage Productions has had the pleasure of hosting Mr Sun live a number of times over the past 10 years. Their name actually came as a result of their performing in the Richmond Library back in 2013 where they observed a "Mr Sun" cut out on the children's library room wall.

We had this opportunity to record them where we host all of our "P.M. Sundays" concerts; the Richmond Congregational Church, a while back and this performance is being made available for the first time in support of their new CD "Extrovert".

For those of you unfamiliar with the group, Mr Sun comprises 3 generations of some of the sharpest minds to apply themselves to the American String Band.

Legendary fiddler Darol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent, and is a member of the original "nuclear" generation of pickers who extended Bluegrass, Jazz, and Classical music to find their common ground; Mr Sun is the latest iteration in that legacy. Joe K. Walsh is one of the foremost contemporary mandolinists, with 4 award-winning years in the Gibson Brothers, 3 solo recordings, and a Berklee professorship. Grant Gordy is a standout in the crowded field of Acoustic Guitar Wunderkinds. Grant's work was quickly recognized for its kaleidoscopic excellence and startling emotion, fusing Jazz, R&B, and Bluegrass concepts to an unprecedented degree. The group recently added the masterful bassist Aidan O'Donnell, a Brooklyn, New York (by way of Scotland) jazz veteran.

The 4 musical personalities of Mr Sun are so strong that one might imagine the group could explode, but for the palpable love and humor that emanate from every note they play.
