# FOUR BRIDGES – US BLUEGRASS
Hjemmeside band: https://fourbridgesbluegrass.com/
Det blir en autentisk bluegrass-opplevelse når amerikanske FOUR BRIDGES besøker Norge og Antikvariatet for første gang siden 2019! Karene hadde en fabelaktig kveld sist, og gleder seg stort til å komme tilbake. Overhørt i publikum den gangen: "jeg liker ikke country, men dette var herlig".
Four Bridges har vært i Norge fire ganger tidligere, i 2013, 2015, 2017 og 2019. De har spilt på festivaler, vært med i etableringen av to festivaler, spilt på egg- og dunvær, puber, båter, tog, hjemme hos-konserter, på usannsynlig vakre strender, og de har spilt inn videoer i Norge (se lenker). Ikke minst, de får venner over alt hvor de ferdes, og fans i alle aldre. Et svært bra band med fire svært bra og hyggelige karer. Denne gangen spiller de i Trøndelag (Ila Brainnstasjon kvelden før Antikvariatet) og på Helgeland.
Four Bridges er:
Jeremy Place - mandolin, guitar, banjo, and vocals. By day, Jeremy is music educator. At night, he’s an avid songwriter and bread baker. He picks and writes after he gets his two young boys tucked in bed and a couple of loaves in the oven. Jeremy lives in Middleboro, MA.
Ben Marshall - banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, vocals & bass. Growing up in Rhode island, his dad Rusty was a pit man and mechanic on the stock car racing circuit and brought little Ben with him all along the east coast. Rusty also winter plowed and took Ben, a pot of coffee and a Flatt & Scruggs double eight track every time he left to work those long nights. The rest is history. Ben admires and respects the bluegrass icons and that sound is very much a part of Ben's musical chemistry. Look for Ben's Dad, Rusty, manning our record table. Ben and Rusty are Rhode Islanders.
Nelson Hiller - bass, mandolin, guitar and vocals. A talented and prolific songwriter, Nelson is blessed with a sharp wit and an ear for good music. He always brings life to the stage. You can often find him leading jams and bringing people together at bluegrass events.
Sal Sauco - mandolin/guitar). Sal is both an avid student, user and pusher of bluegrass. Since his very first jam he has been addicted and he feeds his habit regularly. Formerly with Greystone Rail, he has also played with the Bill Thibodeau Band, Island Farm Bluegrass and Swampgrass. Sal is the Southern New England expert on Neanderthal poetry and his kids are sure he is insane.
