California Bluegrass Reunion

Every year since 2012, banjo master Bill Evans brought together a stellar collection of banjo players from all over the world and joined them with an all-star California-based band to present his California Banjo Extravaganza. In 2021, Bill changed the format to a gathering of well-loved bluegrass musicians with strong California connections. These musicians have made music together in different combinations for decades and this concert features both their new and original compositions. The collective is highlighted by the double fiddling of acoustic legend Darol Anger and Chad Manning, and abundant original instrumentals from mandolinist John Reischman and banjo player Bill Evans. The anchoring rhythm is provided by Jim Nunally on guitar and vocals and Sharon Gilchrist on bass.
