About the event
Come join us in the Stone Barn at Sticks and Stones Farm for a fundraiser for Two Coyotes Wilderness School as our ears and eyes are tickled by the cello and lyrical mastery of Rushad Eggleston. Â Prepare to laugh and sing and leave with new tunes in your head.Â
Rushad Robert Eggleston is an American composer, wild jazz vocalist, kazoo player & performer, who has toured extensively in 49 states and 15+ countries. Eggleston is known for inventing words, and for his imaginative world called The Land of Sneth. Â A native of Carmel, California, he attended Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship.Â
Rushad Eggleston electrifies audiences wherever he displays his virtuosic technique, infectious showmanship and musical passion. Grounded in classical music but highly influenced by rock, bluegrass, hip-hop and a myriad of other alternative styles, he has taken his chosen instrument to new levels of creativity and accomplishment.Â
After studying with Eugene Friesen at Berklee College of Music, Â Rushad joined Darol Anger in his recording and touring ensembles, Fiddlers 4 and Republic of Strings. Nominated for a Grammy, the Boston Herald called him the premier cellist in modern roots music. His high-octane performances later took shape in the alt-bluegrass band Crooked Still, as well as his own Tornado Rider and Wild Band of Snee. Rushad has taught at a variety of music workshops, including Mark OConnors Fiddle Camp.
