Orrin Star is an award-winning guitarist and mandolin player who combines hot picking, cool singing and good humor. Once described as 'Arlo Guthrie-meets-Doc Watson', he is now in his 36th year as a full-time performer. Orrin was the 1976 National Flatpicking Champion, has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion, and boasts a repertoire ranging from bluegrass standards to little-known folk gems, Celtic fiddle tunes to fingerstyle blues. (He also once got a fortune cookie that said "You will be successful in any gathering.")
Joining Orrin for part of the evening will be friend and occasional duo collaborator Leon Morris, one of the deans of DC-area bluegrass (who also plays guitar and mandolin and is a powerful singer).
