It's LIVE! It's BLUEGRASS! It's LIAM PURCELL & CANE MILL ROAD in concert at Sundilla!! And it happen FRIDAY!! Showtime at the AUUF (450 E. Thach Road in Auburn) is 7:30, and you can still find Advance tickets for just $20 at Spicer's Music, LLC, Ross House Coffee, and online at www.sundillaconcerts.com. Admission at the door is $25, and $15 for students.

It's hard to talk about Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road without mentioning how young Liam is. He graduated from Berklee College of Music in May 2024, but that was just the latest in a long line of accomplishments. By the time Purcell was 17, the project had seen multiple entries on the Billboard Top 10 Bluegrass charts, performed in 25 states, and was recognized by the International Bluegrass Music Association as the Momentum Band of the Year. In 2022, Purcell shook the bluegrass world by sweeping the Rockygrass Instrumental Championships in Colorado, taking home first place honors on mandolin, banjo, and guitar. He is the only person to ever achieve a simultaneous victory in multiple championships. Even being a college students didn't slow him down; Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road performed over 80 dates per year around an academic schedule, and Liam managed to write and record an album, which led to a recording contract with Pinecastle Records.

And on Friday, Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road, "the future of bluegrass" according to No Depression, make their first appearance at Sundilla Concert Series & Radio Hour. Years from now you can say you saw them in their early years... but only if you come to the AUUF on Friday, November 7.

Five long days until LIAM PURCELL & CANE MILL ROAD in concert at Sundilla? It will be here before you know it! Showtime this Friday at the AUUF (450 E. Thach Avenue in Auburn) is 7:30, and you can still find Advance tickets for just $20 at Spicer's Music, LLC, Ross House Coffee, and online at www.sundillaconcerts.com.

Characterized by No Depression as “the future of bluegrass”, Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road twine innovation, tradition, and excellence into a unique musical experience. Though only in his 22nd year, North Carolina’s Liam Purcell has already established a name for himself in the world of American Stringband music. Growing up less than a mile away from the legendary guitarist Doc Watson, Purcell was steeped in Appalachian Old-Time and Bluegrass traditions. Taking inspiration from the local Deep Gap legacy, Liam began writing, performing, and storytelling from an early age.

Entering the professional bluegrass circuit during his teenage years, Purcell formed the stringband-supergroup Cane Mill Road. He would go on to lead the virtuosic ensemble through regional appearances, building a fanbase across the Southeast and bringing his homespun rapport to some of the most revered festivals in the scene. By the time Purcell was 17, the project had seen multiple entries on the Billboard Top 10 Bluegrass charts, performed in 25 states, and was recognized by the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2019 as the Momentum Band of the Year.

Departing his native Appalachia, Purcell took up residence in Boston while attending Berklee College of Music, following in the footsteps of Molly Tuttle, Infamous Stringdusters, Sierra Hull, Crooked Still, and many others who came out of the College’s famed American Roots Program. Despite the rigorous course of study, Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road performed over 80 dates per year around an academic schedule. In 2022, Purcell shook the bluegrass world by sweeping the Rockygrass Instrumental Championships in Colorado, taking home first place honors on mandolin, banjo, and guitar. He is the only person to ever achieve a simultaneous victory in multiple championships.

Fair warning: there is not enough room in this bio to include all of Liam Purcell’s accomplishments and accolades. But here are a few highlights: No Depression characterizes Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road as “the future of bluegrass.” By the time Purcell was 17, the project had seen multiple entries on the Billboard Top 10 Bluegrass charts, performed in 25 states, and was recognized by the International Bluegrass Music Association as the Momentum Band of the Year.
In 2022, Purcell shook the bluegrass world by sweeping the Rockygrass Instrumental Championships in Colorado, taking home first place honors on mandolin, banjo, and guitar. He is the only person to ever achieve a simultaneous victory in multiple championships. An impressive feat no matter what... but even moreso considering that Liam didn't even graduate from Berklee College of Music until 2024!

Tonight!! Unforgettable live music with GRANT PEEPLES in concert at Sundilla!! Showtime at the AUUF is 7:30, and you can still find Advance tickets for just $20 at Spicer's Music, LLC, Ross House Coffee, and online at www.sundillaconcerts.com/buy-tickets. Admission at the door will be $25, and $15 for students. Free coffee, tea, water, and food will be available, and you are welcome to bring your own favorite beverage or food.

One thing is guaranteed with a Grant Peeples performance -- ENTERTAINMENT. The guy has a talent for giving the audience what they want, no matter who they are. His shows are a roiling mix of funny stuff and not-funny stuff. The South Florida Folk Network says “No Performer holds a crowd like Grant Peeples.” A self-described “tree-hugger that watches NASCAR,” Grant Peeples is the recipient of the Focus Foundation Award for Creative Excellence, which cited the “humor, compassion and wisdom of his songs,” and their “unflinching social insight and cultural acuity.”

Grant says "This is something of a bucket-list show for me. As you might know, Sundilla is a prized location for touring artists to land. It has taken over ten years for the stars to align. I'm extra stoked to learn that my old friend Wildman Steve will be running sound. I'll be digging deep for this one. I'm promising a special show to those who abandon their televisions and computer screens for a moment, to come and share an evening of song and inquiry with me and the Sundilla crew."
