When Mo Pitney and John Meyer take the stage at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum on April 3 for an album pre-release concert, they’ll be carrying with them more than just instruments. They’ll bring the story of an enduring friendship, a shared love for traditional bluegrass, and a commitment to preserving the authenticity of their craft.
Their collaboration, which they describe as a “musical brotherhood,” is built on a dedication to honoring the roots of bluegrass. To capture the raw essence of their sound, Pitney Meyer and Serve Productions built an analog recording studio inside an 1837 log cabin in Bon Aqua, Tennessee. The historic cabin, formerly owned by Johnny Cash, is now known as the Storytellers Hideaway Farm.
It was in this setting that Pitney Meyer recorded their debut album, “Cherokee Pioneer,” over the course of three days. The album, to be released this spring, features an impressive lineup of musicians, including Nate Burie on mandolin, Ivy Phillips on fiddle, Blake Pitney on bass, and five-time CMA Musician of the Year Jenee Fleenor on fiddle.
Tickets for the April 3 performance are on sale now starting at $22. Doors wukk open at 6 p.m., and the concert begins at 7 p.m. A full bar and concessions will be available.
