Jeremy Kittel Trio

Josh Pinkham has been described as “the future of mandolin” by Mandolin Magazine. He pushes his music into new and old territory, excelling in bluegrass, newgrass, jazz, and classical. Although Quinn Bachand plays a range of styles that include jazz and bluegrass, it is his talents in the world of Celtic music that draw the most attention. His unique harmonies, hard-driving strumming, inventive chord voicing and powerful rhythmic effects make even the most well-worn tunes seem new and exciting.
