Cooperstown Concerts is excited to open our 2025-2026 season with PICKIN' ON SUNDAY, a double-bill concert featuring FOLLOW THE MUSE with LOREN & LJ BARRIGAR at the Fenimore Farm & Country Village on Sunday September 21 at 3:00 PM. Bluegrass, Americana, Roots Music and Finger-Style Guitar picking will be showcased on this Sunday afternoon in Cooperstown!
FOLLOW THE MUSE is a Roots Rock, Americana trio from the Utica area formed by Nick Piccininni, string wizard of the renowned Yonder Mountain String Band. Nick is a highly proficient multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who got his start performing bluegrass music on the five-string banjo. The band blends bluegrass with other genres, and weaves traditional string instrumentation – guitar, banjo, and fiddle – with collaborative improvisation, original music, and unique interpretations of cover songs.
LOREN & LJ BARRIGAR, a father-son guitar duo known for unforgettable performances that span decades of music, features Loren Barrigar, an internationally acclaimed artist and central New York’s premier finger-style guitarist.
LOREN BARRIGAR is an award-winning acoustic guitar player who has performed with some of the best players in the world including Stephen Bennett, Richard Smith, John Knowles, Muriel Anderson, and Tommy Emmanuel. He’s also recorded with Grammy winner and legendary producer Lloyd Maines. A guitar virtuoso and child prodigy, Loren performed at the Grand Ole Opry at age six, and has had a long and successful touring, recording, and songwriting career.
LJ, his gifted son, is a highly talented musician who now plays with Loren as part of their finger-picking style duo. Loren and LJ have been on the road doing live shows and appearing on the radio nationwide. The duo performs favorite songs across the decades, as well as original music.
