BLUEGRASS | GREAT VAGRANT [ BLUES ]
It’s heart-warming to see young musicians not only keep the traditions of American roots but also adapt the music to make it their own. The way Great Vagrant — a mix of students from the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester — approaches Bluegrass and Folk, it’s evident the respect the members hold for tradition. Still, the music feels fresh and youthful, like Great Vagrant is excited to test old boundaries and toe the line. Great Vagrant performs Saturday, May 3, at Sticky Lips BBQ, 625 Culver Road. 10 p.m., no cover. Facebook.com/ Greatvagrant; Stickylipsbbq.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP
