Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile announce summer US tour<\/p>\n

Long-awaited Not Our First Goat Rodeo<\/em> tour features first concerts in nearly a decade<\/p>\n

Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile have announced a summer tour of the U.S, bringing material from\u00a02011’s\u00a0The Goat Rodeo Sessions<\/i> and 2020’s Not Our First Goat Rodeo<\/i> on the road to Nashville, TN; Auburn, AL; Beaver Creek and Denver, CO; Salt Lake City, UT; Portland, OR; and Stanford, Berkeley, and San Diego, CA.\u00a0The astounding group of virtuosos will be joined by singer-songwriter and Grammy Award-winner\u00a0Aoife O\u2019Donovan,\u00a0for their first live concerts together in nearly a decade.<\/p>\n

Seamlessly incorporating elements of bluegrass, Americana, classical, and international folk music, the music of\u00a0both sets of\u00a0Goat Rodeo<\/em> sessions\u00a0combines the talents of the individual artists, each a Grammy Award-winning talent, to create a singular sound that\u2019s part composed, part improvised, and uniquely American.\u00a0The music is so\u00a0complex to pull off that the group likens it to a\u00a0goat\u00a0rodeo \u2014 an aviation term for a situation in which 100 things need to go right to avoid disaster.<\/p>\n

But pull it off they do. Both\u00a0The Goat Rodeo Sessions <\/i>and Not Our First Goat Rodeo\u00a0<\/i>reached No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Classical, Classical Crossover, and Bluegrass charts; The Goat Rodeo Sessions<\/i>\u00a0also received Grammy awards for Best Folk Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. NPR\u2019s\u00a0World Cafe<\/i><\/a>\u00a0called\u00a0The Goat Rodeo Sessions<\/i>\u00a0“organic yet composed in a way that only four deeply talented, in-tune musicians could make it,”\u00a0with traces of, “Appalachia[n], Chinese,\u00a0classical, Celtic, and jazz influences. If there was ever an album \u2014 or an unlikely band \u2014 that embodies the word \u2018eclectic,\u2019 this is it.” Writing of Not Our First Goat Rodeo, Gramophone <\/i>said “The vast majority of crossover recordings sound contrived or half-baked (or both), and do scant justice to any of the genres involved, but Yo-Yo Ma and his collaborators got it right. There’s quite a lot of stylistic variety on both recordings, yet they each feel of a piece.”<\/p>\n
