About this concert
Tanasi crafts a rich, world-inspired mountain sound, blending the soulful echoes of roots artists from across the globe into music that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Tanasi leans into the music they have learned through their travels, collaborating with musicians from around the world and refracting global sounds through their Appalachian lens, bringing it home. Their songs find their way into the very depths of your heart, resonating with an undeniable warmth and authenticity. Tanasi is a collaboration of celebrated Asheville, NC musicians, featuring the tight sister-like harmonies of MerleFest-winning songwriter Anya Hinkle and Mary Lucey (Biscuit Burners, Uncle Earl) with the inimitable dobro musings of Billy Cardine, known worldwide for his distinctive voice on all things slide about whom Jerry Douglas says,” I couldn’t pick a better example of what the possibilities are with the instrument.”
Members of Tanasi have toured the world over, from Japan and India, Nepal to Bali, throughout Europe, Hawai’i and across the US and Canada, at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Rockygrass, and Merlefest and on stages such as The Ryman Auditorium, The Kennedy Center, and Carnegie Hall. Tanasi's worldgrass sound is a vibrant celebration of music’s power to unite, transcending cultural boundaries to reveal the shared rhythms of our humanity. With every note, they remind us that what connects us is far greater than what sets us apart. They will be releasing their debut album in the summer of 2025.

Andrew Finn Magill Biography
Andrew “Finn the Fiddler” Magill has straddled the tenuous line of “fiddler” and “violinist” for the better part of his thirty years. Raised in an Irish musical household in Asheville, North Carolina he grew up studying with many of the best traditional American and Irish fiddlers at The Swannanoa Gathering music workshops. He was featured on NPR at age 18 and never looked back. His 2016 two-disc project Roots and Branches debuted at #46 on the Folk DJ charts and says grammy-winner Tim O’Brien:
“He has learned from and now plays with the best in the genre. On Branches you can hear a new musical voice emerging. I’m gonna keep listening for Finn Magill.”
In 2014 Finn moved to Rio de Janeiro and plunged head on into Brazilian choro music, studying with some of the most accomplished in the genre including Luís Barcelos, Nicolas Krassik and Pedro Paes. Gradually absorbing other Brazilian traditions such as forró, samba, and bossa nova, Canta Violino! (April 2018) is the product of years of study and performance with Rio’s diverse musicians. Writes Brazilian percussion legend Airto Moreira of Weather Report and Miles Davis:
“Its nice to see fresh, young musicians carrying on the traditions of Brazilian music. Finn Magill displays a love and authenticity that can fool you into thinking he is from Brazil. His style is playful and light, yet soulful and passionate. Congratulations!”
Magill merges his folk background and more than fifteen years of jazz study with the Brazilian musical language he has spent the last three years studying, all on an instrument seldom associated with either: the violin. The result is uncharted territory for both the violin and Brazilian music.
