Perennial local favorites The McKrells bring Celtic-infused bluegrass music to a live concert at noon on Thursday, Nov. 17 at the BTC Auditorium. The hour-long event, the third of a four-part concert series, is open free to the public; no reservations or tickets are required to attend.
All students who attend the concert will receive a free copy of the band’s 2022 CD release, “Still Pickin,” compliments of the Cultural Affairs Program.
The McKrells has performed for countless audiences near and far, and maintains a dedicated following throughout the northeast United States. If indeed “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” then The McKrells is colossal. Made up of six, extremely-talented musicians with vast credentials of their own, the band is as popular today as it was decades ago.
Founder Kevin McKrell, singer, songwriter, storyteller and guitarist, is joined by Arlin Greene, bass; Scott Hopkins, banjo; Brian Melick, drums; Frank Orsini, fiddle, and Peter Pashoukos, lead guitar.
