Grammy-winning fiddler Jason Carter will bring the Jason Carter Band to TEMPO Performing Arts Center in Kingston on Friday, Nov. 13. The performance is part of the group’s national tour and offers Hudson Valley bluegrass fans a chance to see a world-class act at affordable prices.
Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m. All seating is general admission. TEMPO has an accessible entrance and a beer, wine, and cider bar.
Tickets follow a sliding scale of $25 for community, $35 for standard, and $50 for supporter. Kids 12 and under are admitted free. Tickets are available through TEMPO’s website.
Carter grew up in Kentucky bluegrass tradition and has played fiddle with the Del McCoury Band for 30 years. He has won three Grammy Awards, including Best Bluegrass Album in 2018 with the Travelin’ McCourys, a group he helped found. He is also a multiple-time International Bluegrass Music Association Fiddle Player of the Year.
Carter has recorded with artists including Steve Earle, Ricky Skaggs, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill and Asleep at the Wheel. His forthcoming solo album, Lowdown Hoedown, features contributions from Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Sarah Jarosz and Billy Strings. On the album, Carter sings lead.
A sign honoring Carter stands along U.S. 23, known as the Country Music Highway, in Lloyd, Kentucky. He has said the sound of that region shaped how he plays today.
TEMPO Performing Arts Center is a project of the nonprofit Kingston Music Initiative, led by Executive and Artistic Director Tom Krueger. The venue and music education center sits in the former Trinity Methodist Church in Kingston’s Rondout District. The space features Gothic architecture, Tiffany stained-glass windows, a restored 1860s pipe organ and a 9-foot concert grand piano.
TEMPO’s mission is to build community through music by offering an accessible space where artists can perform and record, students can learn, and neighbors can gather.
One heads-up: the release lists Carter as a six-time IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year in the subhead but five-time in the body, and gives three different seat counts for TEMPO (300, 285 and 275). I left the exact numbers out of the article. You may want to confirm with the publicist if you’d like to include them.
