Bluegrass in Bainbridge Feb. 22

Posted

Don’t miss bluegrass crowd-pleaser Remington Ryde when they perform at the Bainbridge Town Hall Theatre, 15 North Main Street, Saturday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. The band, formed in 2005, has become known for Ryan Frankhouser’s songwriting and the band’s unique and dynamic renditions of some of your old favorite tunes. They have a distinct sound and old-time flair forged in the Bluegrass-rich area of Pennsylvania.

Remington Ryde is rooted in the traditions of the early decades of Bluegrass and Country music. The band can be counted on for their powerful musicianship, entertainment, combined with Frankhouser’s smooth lead vocals, which sounds just as much at home with driving bluegrass tune as it does a tear-filled country weeper. The members of Remington Ryde have come together to create a recipe of entertainment with a tight, cohesive sound. In the last four years, the band has been nominated for 10 SPBGMA awards in Nashville, Tennessee including Entertainers of the Year.

There’s always a special treat at the Town Hall Theatre. Before the show, enjoy music played on the theatre’s residence organ built in 1933 and one of only five Æolian/Skinner residence organs ever built for upstate New York, and the only one known to be intact and in playable condition.
