featuring THE SPECIAL CONSENSUS
with a thrilling overture by Banjoïstes Extraordinaires!
Join us for a night of incredible music with the GRAMMY-nominated Special Consensus! This is a truly special bluegrass band that has developed its contemporary sound over nearly five decades of non-stop touring and performing. Join us as they prepare to kick off their 50th Anniversary Year!
Bandleader and founder Greg Cahill has received the prestigious Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) and was inducted into the Hall of Greats by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America. Special Consensus has received seven awards from IBMA and multiple GRAMMY nominations.
The band’s 2018 Rivers and Roads album was nominated for a GRAMMY and won the IBMA 2018 Album of the Year, with Squirrel Hunters winning the 2018 IBMA Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year award. Their 2020 single Chicago Barn Dance won the IBMA Song of the Year award and, in 2023, the band’s release of Alberta Bound won the IBMA Collaborative Recording of the Year award. These folks make great music. This is a show that you don’t want to miss!
