Wow! Appalachian-Nepalese bluegrass? Danny Knicely, a fourth generation Appalachian multi-instrumentalist (mandolin, guitar and fiddle) from a Virginia family steeped in mountain music tradition, has used his roots in old-time and bluegrass to explore many musical styles from Irish, jazz and Latin, to the various musical styles he encountered while performing and studying music in India, Nepal, Tibet, and China. He has won many awards for both his mandolin and guitar expertise, and has had years of experience as a professional musician performing in many diverse bands with whom he has recorded and toured nationally and internationally. Ralph Gordon on bass, Zan McLeod, guitar and bouzouki, Matthew Olwell on percussion and dance, fiddler Nate Leath and Footworks dancers join Danny at tonight’s concert.
