JP Cormier with The Vox Hunters

 —  —

The Troubadour (Morristown Unitarian Fellowship) , 21 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ

JP Cormier is the worst-kept secret of the multi-instrumental virtuoso world. Based in Nova Scotia, he has been a member of the world's top touring bluegrass and string bands since the age of 13. After two decades of that, he stepped out of the bands, and began his solo career. His guitar work, both flatpicking and fingerstyle is lightning fast, and yet smooth as butter. So is his fiddling. His songs are brilliantly written, and delivered in a clear and soulful tenor. And the stories between songs is delightful and often hilarious.

The Vox Hunters The Vox Hunters demonstrate that traditional music can be enormously entertaining, even for non-trad fans. Ben Gagliardi and Armand Aromin are a pair of 20-somethings, strong tradition-bearers in their generation, with a genuine affinity for the music, as well as being fine singers and players on fiddle, banjo, tenor guitar, and concertina. While they can be funny, engaging, and yes, thoroughly entertaining, they still maintain the integrity of the tradition.

The audience this night will have the opportunity to vote to give the Vox Hunters a headline set of their own at the Troubadour in the future.
