Both concerts will start at 7 p.m. on the Sun Valley Pavilion lawn. Seats will be sold as pods of two, four and eight with tickets costing $15 per person for members and $25 per person for nonmembers.
Picnics will be welcome, although concertgoers are asked to leave alcohol at home as Sun Valley Resort will have a bar on site.
Twisted Pine is a Boston-based band that originated as a bluegrass band but has evolved into a string band similar to the Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek. It features a fiddle player who sings lead vocals, a mandolin player, a bass player and a flutist. It has shared the stage with the likes of Ricky Skaggs.
Bandmembers describe themselves a “neo-folk indie soul avant jazz jam grass-icana” inspired by Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, the Flecktones and others.
Expect an upbeat, poppy vibe, energetic driving rhythms, virtuosic solos and tight harmonies, according to National Public Radio. Expect to hear “Be my sweet papaya” and “funky Kentucky.”
