Flatpick Fridays: VT Bluegrass Pioneers @ Double E Lounge
Decades in the making, the VT Bluegrass Pioneers is an idea whose time has come. Dan and Willy formed Banjo Dan & the Midnite Plowboys, a band that recorded prolifically and toured throughout the Northeast and abroad. The Plowboys ended a 40-year career in 2012, but the brothers continued together as the Sky Blue Boys. Danny, meanwhile, became one of Vermont’s best-known musicians, playing with the Throbulators and the Radio Rangers, among others. In 1998 he founded Vermont’s nationally award-winning honky tonk heroes, the Starline Rhythm Boys.
Then, in 2016, the inevitable happened. These three bluegrass stalwarts, who were among the first to play this music in Vermont, teamed up as the aptly named VT Bluegrass Pioneers. Soon they recruited former Plowboy Sam Blagden – an early Vermont banjo player, himself – to join them on bass and tenor harmonies, completing and solidifying the lineup.

Jorma Kaukonen

A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy recipient, Jorma is best known as one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock; he is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna.
Jorma Kaukonen is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field. He continues to tour the world, bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting new songs of weight and dimension. His secret is in playing spontaneous and unfiltered music, with an individual expression of personality.
