Musical excellence is on its way to Woodmen Hall, in the shape of five young bluegrass musicians. When fiddler Brittany Haas, guitarist Jordan Tice, and bassist Paul Kowert join their talents with Cahalen Morrison and Eli West on March 30, 7- 9 p.m., the results will be memorable.

California-born Brittany Haas is a fiddlin’ prodigy, who began touring with Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings at 14, and released her first solo album at 17. While at Princeton University, she joined seminal chamber-grass band Crooked Still. She has toured with them since, continuing to join other bands onstage, including on Letterman and SNL. Currently in Nashville, she co-leads the Brittany Haas/Dan Trueman Band who released their debut record “CrissCross” in 2011.

Hailing from Annapolis, Jordan Tice is an innovative flatpicker and composer. He played with various Maryland bluegrass bands, then studied music composition at Towson University. Jordan debuted his first recording at the age of 17, since releasing two more, to rave reviews.  He has graced the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine and, in 2012, played the music Steve Martin commissioned for New York City’s “Shakespeare in the Park” series. He currently leads the Jordan Tice Trio in Brooklyn, featuring Paul Kowert on bass and Simon Chrisman on hammered dulcimer.

Paul Kowert grew up in Madison, Wis. A graduate of The Curtis Institute of Music and one of the most original bassists playing today, Paul has made two albums with The Punch Brothers, recorded music for The Hunger Games soundtrack, and appeared on Leno, Letterman, A Prairie Home Companion, and Austin City Limits.

Eli West, from Olympia, took up guitar in middle school, then kept learning new instruments. His musical influences include Norman Blake, Tim O’Brien, Tony Rice, and Bill Frisell. Eli studied graphic arts and design at Whitworth, but now he’s half of the duo Cahalen and Eli.

Cahalen Morrison, the other half, grew up in New Mexico, attending the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. After touring solo for three years, he moved to Spokane where he met Eli. Cahalen’s influences also include Tim O’Brien.

Eli recently joined his old teacher John Reischman onstage on Lopez, and following this next concert, Cahalen and Eli depart for a tour of Ireland and Scotland. Lopez is privileged to host an exclusive performance of all five of these talents together at Woodmen Hall.
