Fri Oct 24
On Friday, October 24, the Mainstay in Rock Hall, Maryland, in partnership with the Hedgelawn Foundation, welcomes one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s most popular bluegrass groups – the Eastman String Band.
Silky vocals, soaring harmonies, hot picking, and heartfelt originals punctuate each performance of the Eastman String Band. Tim and Savannah Finch form the basis of the group. They began playing music together at the Friday Night jams once held at Tim’s music store, “Good Deale Bluegrass” in Deale, Maryland. Tim sings lead and harmony vocals and plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, and pedal steel. Savannah sings lead and harmony vocals and plays guitar. Tom is also a representative of Eastman Strings, renowned internationally for their stringed instruments, (hence the name of the band). The group also prominently features John Glik on fiddle. Glik had been a member of bluegrass giant Del McCoury’s Dixie Pals and has worked with David Grisman and Frank Wakefield. He has been a fixture on the Baltimore/Washington bluegrass scene since the 1970s. The band also includes Danny Stewart on bass, and special guest Jack Dunlap on lead guitar.
This concert is made possible with support provided by The Hedgelawn Foundation
