Don Stiernberg, Evan Price, Greg Ruby and Kevin Kehrberg Live in Concert

 

Thursday, July 3rd • 7pm

Tickets $20

 

Don Stiernberg, Evan Price, Greg Ruby and Kevin Kehrberg weave together Hot Club Jazz , mando-bop and old school swing – all on an acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin and upright bass. In town on the teaching staff for the Swannanoa Gathering Fiddle and Mandolin week, they will bring their improvisational collectivity to the Black Mountain Center for the Arts.​

With Greg from New York, Don from Chicago, Evan from San Francisco, and Kevin from Asheville, the four have collaborated every summer while in residency as teaching staff at the Swannanoa Gathering. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic prevented them from getting together so instead they created a remote record “Rhythm Twist”. Each musician composed one song and arranged two others. Passing charts, tracks and ideas between them, they created something unique and collective. Guitarist Greg Ruby states, “not only did this project help us maintain a sense of sanity and ground us in creativity, it kept us in touch with each other while riding out a very strange period of human history."
