Orange Mighty Trio CD Release

Come celebrate the release of Orange Mighty Trio's new CD as The Cedar welcomes back fiddler Zack Kline, pianist Mike Vasich, and bassist Nick Gaudette. Take one part Bluegrass fiddling and combine with Classical technique and compositional chops, add a range of improvisation, especially Jazz flavor, and you might get a recipe for the Orange Mighty Trio’s fresh new music.  The Minneapolis-based instrumentalists define themselves with the tongue-in-cheek term “bluegrassical,” and have used humor, spontaneity and onstage interaction to capture a growing audience for their adventurous violin, piano and bass pairing.

The Trio received acclaim for their self-titled EP and has followed up with the June 2009 release, “Infrastructure.”  The album draws its theme and tune titles from transportation, a wry nod to the many traditional fiddle tune titles about roads and travel.  Kris Swanberg’s film, “It was Great but I was Ready to Come Home” featured music from the new album.  The group plans to score husband Joe Swanberg’s new film, “Silver Bullets,” currently in post-production, and will be touring the West and Midwest this summer. 

Openers will be Mississippi Peace, featuring Christopher Cunningham (a/k/a Neverwas, on guitars, fretted stringed instruments and voice), along with Michelle Kinney (cello), Melissa Matthews (violin) and Graham O’Brien (drums).

Tickets are on sale now from the Cedar Ticketline (612-338-2674 ext 2), Cedar outlets, and online at Ticketweb.
