David Davis & THE WARRIOR RIVER BOYS
FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2020 @ 8PM | BLUEGRASS | $42/$37 | Students $15
A Tribute to the Music of Charlie Poole
Recognized as modern leaders in traditional bluegrass, David Davis & the Warrior River Boys have thrown genre boundaries aside to delve deep into the roots of acoustic music in a stunning tribute to the legendary Charlie Poole. A generation before Bill Monroe was credited with founding bluegrass, the music of Charlie Poole and his North Carolina Ramblers was a common source of repertoire for many early bluegrass bands. Leveraging recordings from the 1920's, Davis and his band have taken key elements from Poole's music to create a masterful and exciting collection of olda??time tunes melded with bluegrass instrumentation, rhythm, and harmonies. The result is a modern take on the music of the man Davis believes is not only the 'Grandfather' of bluegrass, but of a broader roots music family.
