THIRD COAST BLUEGRASS (TCB) is a band of longtime friends and musical cohorts with deep roots in the Upper Great Lakes bluegrass scene going back to the 70’s. The lineup speaks (and picks and sings) for itself, in alphabetical order:

Marc Edelstein – Bass & Vocals

Ken Finkel – Banjo & Vocals

Peter Knupfer – Fiddle (& you don’t want the vocals!!)

Don Stiernberg – Mandolin & Vocals

Jerry Wicentowski – Lead Vocals & Guitar

TCB’s repertoire spans bluegrass classics, hidden gems, originals, and adaptations from amazing songwriters. The band highlights Jerry’s “true to the tradition” vocals, seamless trios and masterful instrumentals. With world class soloists Don and Peter stepping out front on the instrumentals with rock solid banjo from Ken, it’s as powerful as it is tasteful. Marc’s bass and Jerry’s rhythm guitar lay down the essential rhythmic foundation.  As Don says, “Back to the roots of the hard grass with admired colleagues who are also great friends. What could be better?”

Upon arrival, mention the name under which the tickets were purchased to be shown your seats. Please come at least 15 minutes before showtime, and an hour or more before if you plan to eat.  Menu will be limited to fewer items to facilitate getting people served before this early show starts.
