SUMMARY:CHARLIE TORCH WITH OTTER OPRY
DESCRIPTION:You honestly will not believe this lineup: Charlie Torch brings together siblings Jasper Manning on mandolin and Jayna Manning on guitar\, with their father\, Chad Manning (an alum of Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands\, the David Grisman Sextet\, and the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience) on fiddle\, Tyler Stegall on banjo\, and 2-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Mark Schatz on (yep) bass. That’s a mighty long sentence\, but the point is you don’t want to miss Charlie and his band when they hit the Otter Opry stage on Saturday\, August 29th. Period.\nCharlie Torch represents a compelling blend of musical heritage and fresh talent in the bluegrass tradition. The band unites two generations of musicians\, creating a sound that honors traditional roots while carving its own distinctive path through bluegrass\, country\, and mountain music. Check out this writeup from one of their earliest performances: “Charlie Torch walks the line between angelic harmonies and gutbucket truth\, playing at the crossroads where even angels sing the blues. The band draws its listeners in close\, engaging with the old music straight from the heart.”\nCharlie Torch’s music draws deeply from traditional roots\, offering a grounded sound shaped by decades of collective experience but unpretentious in delivery. The band blends elements of bluegrass\, country\, and mountain music into an honest\, well-crafted expression that respects the past while quietly forging its own path forward. And you don’t even have to drive at night to catch this incredible performance. See you there! Online sales end at 9am the day of the show. Tickets will be available at the door.\n3pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). www.otteropry.org

SUMMARY:MARTHA SPENCER WITH OTTER OPRY AT MONTEREY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
DESCRIPTION:A beautiful testimonial from Rolling Stone Country kicks us off: “Appalachian music\, through and through\, with all the dynamism of a string band and the longing of a lovelorn country song.” Who could this be? Well\, it’s Martha Spencer – a singer/songwriter\, mountain musician and dancer from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia – and she is the real thing! Once again\, Otter Opry has booked an incredible band to entertain you on Wednesday\, September 23rd\, and it’s guaranteed to be an amazing show.\nMartha grew up in the musical Spencer Family\, and she learned to play several instruments (guitar\, fiddle\, banjo\, bass\, dulcimer\, mandolin) and flatfoot/clog at a young age. The Spencer Family is worth a special mention\, because their music is so well known and highly regarded back in Appalachia. Martha will be traveling to California as part of the Martha Spencer Duo\, a high-energy team that includes Lucas Pasley (fiddle\, banjo\, and vocals) to deliver a toe-tapping\, heartwarming performance you won’t want to miss.\nA final note from The Austin Chronicle: “Rolling from the mountains of Virginia\, Spencer provides an update on the high lonesome sound\, blending equal parts country and bluegrass with a high-flying sensibility.” This will be a very special evening\, and a delicious smoked chicken dinner beforehand ($15 in advance\, $20 after September 19th) will make it even more so. Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance. Tickets will be available at the door.\n7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). www.otteropry.org
