Joe Cirotti Trio with Western Skies
*** Admission: $20/$15 (FP members); 12 and under free with adult.***
The Joe Cirotti Trio, a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge, fuses their multi-instrumentalist upbringings with a passion for the roots of American folk, jazz, country, and bluegrass. Their bond is rooted in proximity, strengthened by a blue-collar passion for picking, and buoyed by their shared propensity for roots music and whiskey. Formed in 2015, the current line-up of Joe Cirotti: guitar, Pete Lister: upright bass, and Timmy Coyle: mandolin and guitar, continues to craft a sound steeped in tradition yet infused with modern twists.
Western Skies is a state of mind, thoughtfully crafting songs you can live your life by. Love, music, friendship and a pinch of humor. Imagine Crosby, Stills & (a female) Nash with Jimi Hendrix on lead guitar and you’ve got a pretty good idea. Real songs, Real harmony, Real guitar, Real people.
