Join us as Chicago’s premiere bluegrass ambassadors Special Consensus celebrate 50 years together with this very special Celtic Connections performance.
Under the leadership of founding member Greg Cahill, The Chicago based quartet performs traditional Bluegrass standards, songs from other genres with Bluegrass arrangements and original material by the band members. Since 1975, they’ve amassed an expansive discography, with over 20 releases, while earning two Grammy nominations and winning the International Bluegrass Music Association award six times.
Special Consensus approaches this hallowed American musical art form with boundless energy and an aesthetic reverence that tickles the ribs, tugs at the heart, and puts a restless two-step into boots and bare feet.
“The vocals are spotless, the playing as shiny as a newly minted penny, and music like this is the reason people come to love bluegrass.” (Folk & Music Exchange)
