Bluegrass guitarist and singer Michael Daves will be celebrating the release of his new solo EP Early Morning Sun on Wild Geranium Records. Sharing the bill are the folk/Irish trad powerhouse duo of Liz Hanley and Jefferson Hamer. Each act will do a set and then Daves and Hamer will collaborate on some Norman Blake songs and what not to end the evening.
"Michael Daves is a Grammy-nominated New York-based bluegrass, country, and rock musician whose unruly interpretations of American roots music standards have won him a place of almost fanatical admiration as a "renegade traditionalist." His regular Tuesday night performances at the Rockwood Music Hall are the stuff of New York legend. Daves has shared stages and recorded with Chris Thile, Steve Martin, Tony Trischka, Bruce Molsky, Peter Rowan, and Rosanne Cash as well"

Jefferson Hamer and Liz Hanley met in 2009 in the heart of New York City’s vibrant Irish music scene, where their shared love of traditional tunes and close harmony singing sparked a lasting musical partnership. Blending Irish fiddle and guitar with folk-inspired songwriting, their performances range from reels to old ballads to contemporary songs, weaving together traditional and original material with warmth, humor, and masterful musicianship.
Both artists are deeply rooted in folk traditions—Hanley as a genre-crossing singer and violinist with a crystalline voice, and Hamer as a BBC2 Folk Award-winning guitarist and songwriter known for his work with Anaïs Mitchell, Sarah Jarosz, and the Murphy Beds. Together, they create an intimate and dynamic sound that draws on their wide-ranging experiences while staying true to the storytelling heart of folk music.
