  • “ . . .banjo great Alison Brown . . . has pushed the boundaries of folk and bluegrass”

    Rolling Stone

  • “Brown’s delicate playing is a far cry from the clickety-clack patterns of traditional bluegrass. It is smart, clever music, so rooted one moment, then off on some fun, eccentric adventure.”

    The Boston Globe

  • “In Brown’s hands, the banjo is capable of fluid musical phrases of boundless beauty.”
