“Music like this is the reason people come to love bluegrass,” says Folk & Music Exchange. “Special Consensus approaches this hallowed American musical art form with boundless energy and an aesthetic reverence that tickles the ribs, tugs at the heart, and puts a restless two-step into boots and bare feet.” This iconic bluegrass band is coming to Otter Opry on Saturday, January 10th for a matinee performance, which you truly will not want to miss!
Marking its 50th anniversary in 2025, Special Consensus continues to deliver a vibrant contemporary bluegrass sound deeply rooted in tradition. Led by founder Greg Cahill, the band has been a cornerstone of the bluegrass community for five decades, with 22 acclaimed recordings, eight International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards, and two Grammy nominations testifying to their enduring artistry and innovation.
With the foundation of Greg Cahill’s unique banjo playing style and the vocal prowess of Greg Blake (guitar), Dan Eubanks (bass) and Brian McCarty (mandolin), these musicians effortlessly support each other and consistently maintain their bluegrass center whether they’re playing a jazz-tinged instrumental or a song from any of their award-winning recordings. These four talented vocalists and instrumentalists follow their creative desires without straying too far from their roots.
3pm. Monterey United Methodist Church, 1 Soledad Drive, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). Tickets and information at www.otteropry.org. Online ticket sales will end at 9am the day of the show.
