  Friday 16 March 2012 8.00pm Booking No. 5 $38/$30 Brunswick Town Hall Doors Open: 7.15pm PETER ROWAN BLUEGRASS BAND Grammy-award winner and five-time Grammy nominee, Peter Rowan is a bluegrass singer-songwriter with a career spanning over five decades. From his early years playing under the tutelage of bluegrass patriarch Bill Monroe, and following his stint in Old & In the Way with Jerry Garcia and subsequent breakout as both a solo performer and bandleader, Rowan has built a devoted, international fan base through his continuous stream of original recordings, collaborative projects, and constant touring. His band consists of three top class bluegrass musicians: Mike Munford- banjo & vocals, Paul Knight on double bass and vocals, and Michael Witcher on Dobro and vocals. This same line up is the nucleus of his brilliant recording "Legacy" released through Compass Records (along with special guests Del McCoury, Ricky Skaggs, Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings and Tim O'Brien); the album contains some beautiful individual and harmony singing, hot instrumental licks, some of Peter's most inspired song writing and was nominated in three categories in 2010 Grammys. This is the finest and best-credentialed bluegrass band ever to tour Australia. > Find out more: Website | Facebook | YouTube THE BIG BUG TRIO Melbourne bluegrass stalwart and our own dobro hero Pete Fidler has put together this knock out trio joining forces with NSW expats Dan Watkins on guitar and the fabulous Kat Mear on fiddle.
