Join us after Charter Day festivities in downtown Basking Ridge for great live music from the Joe Cirotti Trio! Doors open 6:30 p.m., concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets on sale now $25 all ages (Admission is included for "Band of Friends" members until the concert sells out; members should RSVP to NolaJH@msn.com) The Joe Cirotti Trio is a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge. In 2015, Joe Cirotti, Mike Alexander, and Pete Lister’s respective multi instrumentalist upbringings fused with a collective passion for the roots of American folk, country, and bluegrass music. In this way the trio’s bond is rooted in proximity, strengthened by a blue-collar passion for picking, and buoyed by their shared propensity for cigarettes and whiskey. Timmy Coyle has filled in for Mike since 2021 on multiple instruments, and they now occasionally play in tandem when the band plays as a quartet. We're pleased to welcome Joe Cirotti and the band back after wowing us at FarmFest last year, and excited to hear them in the historic Ross Farm barn! Seating will be provided.
