SummerStage Presents
The Briarpickers @ Hawks Inn
New to the Winter Series, the Briarpickers are a mandolin/fiddle/banjo trio featuring Brian Ray, Paul Kienitz, and Jon Peik. Having played together for nearly 20 years in various configurations, these musicians meld traditional fiddle tunes with interweaving counter lines in playful and often unpredictable ways. Every show is unique and every song can go a number of different places. This “rustic chamber music” will keep your toes tapping and your head spinning on a cold winter afternoon.
