FREE CONCERT - The Scott Hopkins Trio features stalwart musicians Lou Smaldone on bass and Brian Melick on drums with Hopkins on both acoustic and electric banjo. Repertoire of the trio includes a combination of originals, jazz standards, roots music, Americana and contemporary tunes with flares of bluegrass and folk influences from Hopkins and the Latin grooves and instruments of Melick. Everything is held together by the rock-solid but flexible bass playing of Smaldone creating a unique ensemble sound and approach. The trio frequently invites specials guests to perform along side of them.
