Goat Rodeo Sessions Live in theaters tonight

One of my favorite albums of 2011 gets the live, in-theater treatment tonight for your listening and viewing pleasure.---

The disparate styles of bluegrass and classical are blended with such effortless ability by a collection of virtuosos—Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile. The Goat Rodeo Sessions is done with such skillful ease, it is far from a “goat rodeo”--according to UrbanDictionary.com, the term essentially means a clusterfuck with multifarious inputs that seems to make for a hopeless outcome. The album might seem bluegrass-y to classical fans and classical to bluegrass junkies, but is worth all four stars I gave it. To read the full CW review, go here.

This performance will broadcast Live from the House of Blues in Boston.The concert movie will play at the Salt Lake City Century 16 (125 E. 3300 South) at 8 p.m. For a list of the 10 other venues along the Wasatch Front and to purchase tickets, go here.
