About the musician: Founded in 1999 by Idyllwild resident and pianist Barnaby Finch, Jazzgrass celebrates the progressive edge of bluegrass inspired by the legendary group Strength in Numbers. Revived in 2011, the band features an all-star lineup of talented local musicians: Jeremie Levi (violin), Bob Hamilton (guitar), Don Reed (mandolin, dobro, guitar), Lily McCabe (fiddle, vocals), Bill Saitta (bass), and Jeff Olson (drums). Led by Finch—former musical director and touring member for artists including Lee Ritenour, George Benson, Lionel Richie, and Boz Scaggs—Jazzgrass delivers virtuosic, genre-blending performances. This is a must-see act and a perfect finale to the 2026 Sunnylands season.
