Description EVAN J. MARSHALL & SCOTT GATES, and BILLY & THE HILLBILLIES, featuring JOHN "SLAP-BASS BILLY" MARSHALL... EVAN J. MARSHALL is widely regarded as one of the greatest mandolin virtuosos ever. He possesses an uncanny technique which the Raleigh-Durham Independent called "superhuman," the Los Angeles Times called "remarkable," the Washington Post labeled "truly dazzling," and the Fresno Bee called "mind-boggling." Besides his "obvious virtuosity" (Pasadena Star News), he also has "in color and texture . . . a stunning mastery of interpretation" (St. Paul Pioneer Press). Evan's accomplishments are legendary among other artists of the plucked string: The late Chet Atkins called him "one of the few great musicians of our time;" Don Stiernberg calls him "The Michael Jordan of the mandolin." SCOTT GATES... has quite literally grown up on stage having spent more than half of his young life as a musician. Recognized nationally for his "Mandolin Prowess", Scott also plays guitar and sings with equal skill. Scott has performed on stage with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Blues master Rich Del Grosso, mandolinist Evan Marshall, Grammy Winner John McEuen, Banjoist/ Comic Steve Martin and a host of others. Scott brings his hard driving, innovative mandolin playing and a clear pure voice to his performances. Quite simply no one sounds like Scott, as his variety of training and playing experiences has given him a tone and a style all his own... and BILLY & THE HILLBILLIES, featuring JOHN "SLAP-BASS BILLY" MARSHALL... JOHN MARSHALL, founder of "Billy and the Hillbillies," has performed for about four million visitors to the Golden Horseshoe Theater at the world's most famous theme park during the course of 18,000 shows spanning 17 years. He also has brought his "Hillbillies at the Symphony" program to over a dozen of the country's premier orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony & the Houston Symphony. A consummate entertainer, he is widely regarded as the greatest slap-bass virtuoso in the world of Bluegrass.
TUESDAY, November 17. ShowTime: 8:00 P.M. Tickets: $18.
