Join Richie Stearns and the Finger Lakes Allstars for a solid night of finger picking, old time, bluegrass, Americana folk and more! Richie Stearns has been called a transcendentally clawhammering force of nature, a major innovator of the 5 string banjo, and a wonderfully idiosyncratic musician. He blends traditional technique and repertoire with original and contemporary material.

He started playing old time banjo when he was 14, and since then has traveled around the world, performing both traditional and his own original music, finding ways to collaborate with musicians from five continents (Africa, Asia, North America, Australia, Europe) as well as local musicians from diverse musical backgrounds (classical, jazz, country, R&B, and more). Over the past three decades, he’s written original music for film scores and dance ensembles as well his own bands (The Horse Flies, Evil City String Band, Ti Ti Chickapea, Donna the Buffalo, and the Renegades, among them) and collaborated with artists from a variety of disciplines to present public performances on stages through the U.S., Canada, and Europe, as well as on radio and television.
