Cherry Blossom Special is a 6 piece progressive Bluegrass band lead by mandolinist Nick Cameron with guitarist Justin Heath, fiddler Mari Carlson, Banjo player Gabby Cameron, cellist Sophie Chang and Bassist Greg Mulley. Based in in the Washington DC area since 2021 they draw inspiration from all the original founders of bluegrass, newer artists who are expanding the pallet of the genre, as well os other styles from Jazz to Classical.
In their final show of the season they are hosting Wicked Sycamore!
Wicked Sycamore is an all-female trio hailing from the Baltimore/DC area, consisting of Juliette Bell on guitar, Lainie Gray on mandolin, and Madeline Waters on cello. Their sound can be described as contemporary folk with a mischievous edge that is grounded in traditional roots, Americana, and bluegrass. They write original music ranging from fun and light-hearted sing-alongs to deep, introspective tunes for the ages. No matter the genre, their music relies heavily on intricate vocal harmonies, thoughtful arrangement, and instrumental prowess. By growing their presence as a collaborative force, they hope to increase female representation as both musicians and songwriters throughout the modern music landscape.
