Bob Amos & Catamount Crossing will be in Lancaster at the Rialto Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. Hosted by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts, this popular Bluegrass and Old-Time music band will provide a night of top-flight music. The event is co-sponsored by EXIT Realty Trailblazers.
Bob Amos and his crew roll in from the St. Johnsbury, Vt., area and will show why they have become one of the biggest draws every year during St. Johnsbury’s First Night. “Bob Amos and Catamount Crossing will be center stage at the Rialto Theater in downtown Lancaster, unleashing the absolute joy of Bluegrass through a Green Mountain prism,” said GNWCA President Charlie Jordan. “We are delighted to bring Bob and the band in Lancaster—the GNWCA has hosted them for a number of concerts in the Colebrook area and we are excited to bring them to Lancaster for their first appearance.”
Bob Amos first became an internationally recognized and acclaimed Bluegrass musician and songwriter as the leader of the popular award winning band Front Range. From 1990-2003, Front Range recorded seven CDs and received top notch reviews and heavy airplay on Bluegrass radio programs throughout the world.
Over many years Amos has been universally praised for his musical arrangements and original Bluegrass material.
Sing Out! magazine has called Bob “one of the most constantly intelligent and interesting songwriters in American music.”
The group features Bob on banjo, guitar and vocals, his daughter Sarah Amos on vocals, Freeman Corey on fiddle, Gary Darling on mandolin and vocals, Steve Wright on guitar and vocals, and bassist Chris Cruger.
The band puts on an entertaining, high-energy show, with stellar harmonies, rock solid instrumentation, top shelf original material, plus great interpretations of some Bluegrass classics.
Bob’s CD, “Borrowed Time,” was given a highlight review in Bluegrass Unlimited magazine, and his CD, “Sunrise Blues,” was named Best Traditional Album of the Year by Vermont’s Barre-Montpelier Times Argus Music Awards. VPR’s “All The Traditions” radio host Robert Resnick wrote, “(Sunrise Blues) gets my vote as best acoustic album of 2014.”
Tickets for the show are $15 and available at the Rialto in Lancaster, at Fiddleheads, 110 Main St., in Colebrook, online at www.gnwca.org and at the door on the night of the show.
