St. Paddy's Celebration with Lyndsay Pruett Express

Lyndsay Pruett Express

Lyndsay Pruett is a fiddle player/violinist who has been playing and teaching in Asheville since 2009. She is a member of the touring band, Jon Stickley Trio, as well as the swing outfit known as the John Henry’s, who, for 15 years, has played every Tuesday night at the 5 Walnut Wine Bar. She teaches fiddle at the Academy for the Arts and is the adjunct jazz violin teacher at UNCA.

She has put together a group of long time local picker friends to play tunes from the worlds of bluegrass, swing, Irish and newgrass to form the Lyndsay Pruett Express. They are Drew Matulich on guitar, Jason Flournoy (Suns of Stars) on banjo, and Rick Cooper (Amanda Anne Platt and the Honeycutters) on bass.
