Twilight Music and Landmark College kick off a brand new concert series at Greenhoe Theatre 
with alternative bluegrass quintet, Crooked Still. Drawing from bluegrass, old-time and 
contemporary folk traditions, Aoife O'Donovan, Brittany Haas, Dr. Gregory Liszt, Tristan Clarridge 
and Corey DiMario feature soaring, heavenly vocals and an earthy, genre-bending banjo, 
fiddle, cello, guitar and bass sound that is simultaneously virtuosic and heartfelt. 
Singer and multi-instrumentalist, Sam Amidon, will open the show. 

Performing some of the most compelling alternative bluegrass and string band music today, 
Crooked Still is on the cusp of a new musical chapter. After five years of touring and 
establishing themselves as “the most important folk group to emerge from Boston since the 
early ‘60s” (The Boston Globe), the quartet became five with the addition of fiddler, 
Brittany Haas, and Tristan Clarridge on cello and second fiddle, replacing original member, 
Rushad Eggleston. With Haas and Clarridge, the band has proven themselves to be even more 
adventurous, breathing their cosmic fire into old songs, and building on the solid 
foundation that earned the group invitations to huge events like the historic Newport 
and Telluride Festivals and numerous rave reviews from publications like USA Today and Interview Magazine. 

Not content to limit themselves to any one project or style of music, Greg, Aoife, Corey, 
Tristan and Brittany are involved in other projects outsie of their main band. 
Dr. Gregory Liszt (he holds a PhD in Molecular Biology from MIT) played with 
Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions Band, tours with Tony Trischka’s Double Banjo Bluegrass 
Spectacular, and sings and plays banjo with The Deadly Gentlemen, an Americana/Rap hybrid. 
O’Donovan sings and plays guitar with the singer/ songwriter trio Sometymes Why with 
Ruth Ungar and Kristin Andreassen, and she performs her own songs with the Aoife O’Donovan Band. 
Corey DiMario performs with fiddler, singer and folklorist, Lissa Schneckenburger. 
Tristan Clarridge tours with Darol Anger’s Republic Of Strings and plays in Tristan & 
Tashina Clarridge, a duo he formed with his fiddling sister. Brittany Haas is a charter 
member of Darol Anger’s Republic Of Strings and an instructor at Mark O’Connor’s 
Fiddle Conferences. Brittany also studies Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. 

Crooked Still continues to bring old traditions to new audiences, all the while putting 
a distinctive spin on the arrangements, and injecting new energy into its unique approach 
of performing and reinterpreting traditional music. Each individual contribution by the 
five distinctive talents is enriched by the multidimensionality of their creative 
wellspring. Their latest CD, Still Crooked, is an ensemble effort of inspired music 
making that moves the bands’ impossible to pigeonhole style in new directions while 
honoring their folk roots.

"Crooked Still's vision of string band and bluegrass music sounds like nobody else's... 
they play their instruments gorgeously, radiating warmth and a deep love of the music 
and songs they play. Aoife O'Donovan has a voice of rare, stunning purity and clarity." - Sing Out!

"O'Donovan. Aoife O'Donovan. Remember that name, because with a sultry voice that makes 
her sound like a blusier Alison Krauss, she's about to become the newest darling of the Americana set" - USA Today
