Indie-folk group brings bluegrass tunes to Sutter Creek stage

News release

SUTTER CREEK — Late for the Train, an indie-folk string trio rooted in American folk and bluegrass music, takes the stage at the historical Sutter Creek Theatre Saturday night. Infused with the honest depth of the coastal redwood forests and the heartfelt community of the North Bay, the band provides a playful and poignant musical experience that uplifts the spirit and rouses the soul.

Travel back to a time of hearthside storytelling with these California natives, reveling in the rich traditions of Americana, bluegrass, folk and Celtic music. Their dynamic songwriting is inspired by influences such as Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn, Mandolin Orange, Mipso and Nickel Creek.

The core ensemble includes songwriters and multiinstrumentalists David Pascoe (guitar/mandolin), Laura Benson (fiddle) and Thom Beneduci (stand-up bass). The trio’s skillful craftsmanship meets tender harmonies and potent lyrics that grapple with all the wonder, contradiction and truth of living in the modern age. The group’s debut album, “Plant It or Build It,” was released Sept. 4, 2020.

Usually touring as a trio, the band will have a fourth member (mandolin player) for this show at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 22.

Sutter Creek Theatre is located at 44 Main St. in Sutter Creek. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Open seating, beer and wine will be available. For tickets and more information visit suttercreektheater.com/home/event/ late-for-the-train-indie-folk-bluegrass.
