| | Freight and Salvage: Tony Trischka, Bill Evans |
 | | A leading architect of progressive banjo music, Tony Trischka's travels have taken him from bluegrass bands and avant garde jazz groups to symphony orchestras and percussion ensembles, recording and performing with such folks as David Grisman, Alison Krauss, Natalie Merchant, Bela Fleck, and Psychograss. |
 | | Tony's concert runs through a fast-paced, humor-laden history of the instrument that provides authentic tastes of the banjo's African American roots, mid-19th century string band music, 1920s "mountain music," and the mid-20th century innovations of Earl Scruggs, before closing with originals as well as bluegrass, classical, rock, and jazz standards. |
 | | Bill will be performing selections from this recording backed by Due West as well as playing historical duets from the 19th and 20th centuries with Tony, utilizing a variety of vintage instruments. |
