Bluegrass musician and banjo player Tony Trischka will perform a tribute to Earl Scruggs at The Tin Pan on Sunday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. Trischka recently came into possession of rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs (a pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass) and John Hartford, and he’s transcribed and recorded Scruggs’ note-for-note solos from a number of these. Many of these songs Scruggs had never recorded. An album of this music is in production. During the concert, dubbed EarlJam, Trischka and his band (Michael Daves on vocals and guitar, Alex Hargreaves on fiddle, and Jared Engel on bass) will trace Scruggs’ story from his childhood to his final years. Tickets are $32.50. Doors open at 5 p.m. For details, call (804) 447-8189 or visit tinpanrva.com.
