The 24th Annual Banjo Special
March 24 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
$30
A showcase of Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Irish banjo styles played by four of Canada's top pickers. A fun night and a Toronto tradition! In its twenty-fourth year, The Banjo Special once again brings together 4 of Canada’s top players to celebrate this wonderful instrument. Come and join Chris Coole, Arnie Naiman, Brian Taheny, Chris Quinn, and our special guests as we present an evening of songs and tunes with banjos at the heart of it all. There will be; breakdowns and marches, picks and bare fingers, songs new and old, tubaphones and flatheads, Vegas and Gibsons. And it will all be handled with flair, fun, and big style.
This is a unique chance to hear the diverse voice of both the five-string and tenor banjo, and how the instrument has weaved its way into Bluegrass, Old-Time, Americana, and Traditional Irish music.
