The Eclectics are a bluegrass-based trio that will be taking the stage at the Cultural Center in New York Mills on Friday, Dec. 8.

The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center’s 2023 Fall Concert Series continues on Friday, Dec. 8 with a concert by The Eclectics at 7:30 p.m. in the Cultural Center’s intimate listening-room-style visual arts gallery space. This concert is co-sponsored by the New York Mills Friends of the Library.

The Eclectics are a bluegrass-based trio, playing old favorites, surprising bluegrass (covers of older pop and country), and original music. The Electics are made up of Phil Nusbaum on banjo and vocals; Nick Martin on fiddle and vocals; and John Bergquist on bass. The trio plays a great variety of song types. The focus is instrumental music, though they sing some good old songs, too.

At this Cultural Center concert, you can expect to hear great music and learn a bit too. The trio will talk about the roles of the instruments, weaving the blues into the music, providing musical variety and humor, and the importance of originality. Connecting songs via spoken narratives gives Eclectics’ performances a unique twist and promises an entertaining evening for all!

All are welcome to join us on Friday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. for a toe-tapping good time. Doors open at 7 p.m. and music begins at 7:30 p.m. Cash bar and light refreshments will be available.
