Saturday, September 27th // 7PMRachel Sumner & Traveling Light w/ Ash & EricFresh off a first place win at the 2025 Telluride Bluegrass Festival band competition, Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light have been captivating audiences throughout the northeast. With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice, Sumner's lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass) . Sumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit, singing and writing with the genre-bending roots group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own, Sumner's songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song "Radium Girls (Curie Eleison) ;" earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim. rachelsumnermusic.com/Ash & Eric open the show [www.ashandericmusic.com]JOIN US FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES:SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27// Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light w/ Ash & EricSATURDAY OCTOBER 11// Sam Robbins w/ Sarah Louise FrenchSATURDAY OCTOBER 25// Dan Cloutier w/ Erin Ash SullivanSATURDAY NOVEMBER 15// The Honey Badgers w/ Luke CurranSATURDAY DECEMBER 6// Ash & Eric w/ Morning SonOUR SPONSORS:Thank you toWorcester Arts CouncilMassachusetts Cultural CouncilJoseph's Barber Stylingfor their generous support of this concert series.
