Tony Trischka is considered to be the consummate banjo artist and perhaps the most influential banjo player in the roots music world. For more than 45 years, his stylings have inspired a whole generation of bluegrass and acoustic musicians with the many voices he has brought to the instrument.

Adam Traum grew up in Woodstock in a musical family with a front-row seat to music history. Adam is proudly carrying on the tradition his way, cross-pollinating Americana genres, blending folk, blues, bluegrass, singer-songwriters and country-blues in his diverse songwriting and cover arrangements.

“Laid-back and bluesy, like an autumn hike down a Bearsville back road, Happy’s distinctive fingerpicking and warm, welcoming “c’mon in” vocals give a vibrant new step to the standard stepping stones through folk…” – Chronogram Magazine
