an all seated show

Alice Gerrard is a true legend of American roots music, with a career spanning more than 50 years. Best known for her groundbreaking work with Hazel Dickens, the duo’s recordings in the 1960s and ’70s helped redefine bluegrass and inspired generations of musicians with their powerful harmonies and trailblazing songs.

A collaborator with icons like Tommy Jarrell and Matokie Slaughter, and founder of The Old-Time Herald, Alice has spent a lifetime shaping and preserving traditional music. Now 90, she performs select dates that offer a rare chance to experience a living link to the heart of old-time and bluegrass music.

Reed Stutz brings deep-rooted bluegrass and old-time music to life with masterful mandolin, fiddle, banjo, and guitar. A rising name on the national circuit, he’s shared stages with Alice Gerrard, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, and Bruce Molsky—and his playing channels the spirit of Bill Monroe with a fresh edge.

Get ready for a high-energy night of hard-driving bluegrass and old-time sounds with Reed Stutz. A multi-instrumentalist with serious chops and festival credentials nationwide, Reed delivers blazing mandolin, rich fiddle tunes, and authentic roots music you feel in your bones.

“I love the fact that Reed deep dives into his music, searching for the secrets that might reveal its soul.” – Alice Gerrard
