New Dangerfield Live at Groton Hill

Traditional and Bluegrass Band New Dangerfield will be live on Friday, March 7 at 8:00pm at the Groton Hill Music Center.

Named after Dangerfield Newby, a Black man who raided Harper’s Ferry with John Brown and was memorialized with a fiddle tune bearing his name, New Dangerfield is the latest of only a few Black string bands that have emerged over the past few decades – featuring four acclaimed Black roots musicians: award-winning bluegrass banjoist Tray Wellington, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kaïa Kater, bassist Nelson Williams (Chris Jones & the Night Drivers), and fiddler and singer Jake Blount.

Dangerfield’s story reveals the moments of unspeakable tragedy and fierce resistance woven into the Black string band tradition. Love, grief, rage and humor have been passed down in this music for hundreds of years; ancient emotions, now given voice in the music of New Dangerfield.
