SUMMARY:Crying Uncle @ The Otter Opry
DESCRIPTION:CRYING UNCLE WITH OTTER OPRY\nAT MONTEREY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH \nLegendary mandolinist David Grisman really likes the Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band: “Go and check out Crying Uncle! We dig what they are doing! The future of music is in good hands here!” Widely recognized as one of the most exciting young bands in acoustic music\, Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band plays a unique mix of bluegrass\, Dawg (David Grisman music)\, jazz\, and modern originals. Come check these ground-breaking musicians out on Friday\, June 26th\, when they bring their amazing talent to the Otter Opry stage at Monterey United Methodist Church! \nBrothers Miles (fiddle) and Teo (mandolin) Quale are joined by bassist Andrew Osborn and 2023 National Flat Pick Guitar Champion Ian Ly\, all outstanding musicians of the vibrant California bluegrass scene. Beginning in 2016 as a Duo\, Miles and Teo formed the bluegrass band in 2017 – and since then\, they have continued to make waves in the world of bluegrass and acoustic music. In 2024\, the band celebrated its debut at the Grand Ole Opry; and in 2023\, it received the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Momentum Band of the Year award. Crying Uncle was also honored to perform for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame’s induction of its hero\, David Grisman. \nPatrice O’Neill\, Executive Director of the annual Wintergrass Festival in Washington\, is impressed with the band on multiple levels: “Sure\, they can rip off a blazing solo\,” he says. “But they can also explore the depths of melodic and harmonic sophistication with grace and oh\, so much intelligence.” Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band is guaranteed to get your toes tapping (or maybe your feet stomping)\, so don’t miss this show! You can even enjoy a delicious barbequed chicken dinner before the show ($15 in advance\, $20 after June 20th). Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance. There will be tickets available at the door. \n7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). www.otteropry.org

SUMMARY:Barkley Cove @ the Otter Opry
DESCRIPTION:BARKLEY COVE WITH OTTER OPRY\nAT MONTEREY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH \nOtter Opry *loves* to break new ground in the Monterey bluegrass scene\, and here we go again: On Thursday\, July 9th at Monterey United Methodist Church\, East Coast student band Barkley Cove will be demonstrating in no uncertain terms what “new blood” in our favorite genre is all about. \nBarkley Cove is a folk/bluegrass band known for its rich harmonies\, with Jillian Dolan (guitar\, vocals)\, Silas Gross (guitar\, banjo\, vocals)\, Yusuf Miller (mandolin\, bass\, vocals)\, and Robert Myers (bass) creating a sound that blends folk\, rock\, country\, and bluegrass with imaginative songwriting. A quick search on the internet turns up praise and excitement for the group – like\, “These youngsters are killing it!” \nRobert explains the remarkable group dynamics of the band: “We love playing with each other because we write all our songs collectively and have a strong personal connection to one another\, which makes each performance like playing music with friends while also connecting with each other and the audience on a deeply emotional level. Our goal is to take the listener on a journey that evokes the indescribable collective relationship that music forms between listeners. \nBarkley Cove has never set foot in California\, and some of them have never even been to the American West. They are excited to visit and learn more about the people and culture of the area\, while also forming a connection with a part of the country that is known for innovative music and stunning nature. Let’s welcome them with open arms and see if we can “grass them up” a little bit more when they come to see us. And\, how about some dinner before the show? Dinner at 5pm ($15 before July 4th\, $20 after that). \n7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). Online sales will end at 11am on the day of the show. www.otteropry.org
