Madison's hardest working Bluegrass band, Soggy Prairie, is proud to host the Madison Bluegrass Roundabout, a monthly Tuesday night series highlighting Southern Wisconsin's Bluegrass scene. The series will feature new and upcoming bands, as well as well-established groups. Each month will feature a set from Soggy Prairie followed by a set from a guest band.
The tenth installment of the MBR will feature some of the best players this town has to offer - The Shauncey Ali Quartet.
At the intersection of tradition and innovation, Madison-based fiddler Shauncey Ali crafts evocative melodies and arrangements that feel timeless, adventurous and refreshingly new. He is an award-winning instrumentalist, composer and educator who has performed, recorded and taught in the US, Canada, Italy, Spain and Scotland. Described as “precise, thoughtful and unexpected,” Shauncey’s voice draws from the deep wells of American and Celtic fiddle traditions, a love of improvisation, extensive experience in classical orbits and sensibilities shaped by pop, rock and Scandinavian music.
The Shauncey Ali Quartet features Hans Holzen on guitar, Nicholas Vanhaute on mandolin and David Havas on upright bass.
Together, the Shauncey Ali Quartet delivers a chamber-style interplay that is virtuosic yet accessible, rooted in tradition yet unbound by convention.
