  • Tim O’Brien & Sam Grisman with Victor Furtado

    A rare and intimate evening of acoustic music featuring Tim O'Brien, Sam Grisman, and Victor Furtado. This special trio performance brings together three musicians whose shared love of song, storytelling, and instrumental mastery continues the timeless lineage of American acoustic music. The legendary Tim O'Brien is one of the most beloved and influential singers, songwriters, and instrumentalists in American acoustic music and the impact that his songs and musicianship have had on our tribe of acousticians is immeasurable. When I was a Junior in high school if you would have asked me what my dream job would be, without a doubt I would have answered "to be in the Tim O'Brien Band." It is a great honor to get to play some of my favorite Tim tunes with the man himself, and to get to do it in a trio setting with the great Victor Furtado, one of my favorite pickin' pals who also grew up on Tim's music, is going to make for a special experience for everyone on stage and in the audience!
