Bluegrass Icons Shawn Lane and Richard Bennett Unite for a Spectacular Night at Fogartyville in Sarasota

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of bluegrass magic as two legendary musicians, Shawn Lane of Blue Highway fame and Richard Bennett from J.D. Crowe & The New South, team up for an extraordinary concert experience at Fogartyville on February 1st at 7 p.m.

Before embarking on their musical journey together, which includes the critically-acclaimed single “1000 Miles,” both Lane and Bennett had already established themselves as prominent figures in the bluegrass, Americana, and roots music realms.

Shawn Lane, a founding member of the award-winning supergroup Blue Highway, boasts an impressive collection of accolades, having earned 28 IBMA Awards and secured three Grammy nominations. Throughout his illustrious career, Lane has graced the stage alongside music legends such as Ricky Skaggs and Doyle Lawson.

Richard Bennett, known for his tenure with JD Crowe & The New South, also had the honor of performing multiple times at the hallowed grounds of the Grand Ole Opry, often sharing the stage with Bobby Osborne. Presently, he plays an integral role in shaping the traditional yet invigorating sound of Flashback, a J.D. Crowe & The New South reunion band.

The musical synergy created by the Lane and Bennett duo offers a distinctive blend, leaning slightly more towards folk and jam influences compared to their work with their primary bands. Joining them on stage for the Fogartyville performance will be the accomplished bassist Michael Godwin.

Tickets for this remarkable musical event are priced at $20 for members and $25 for non-members. The Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center is conveniently located at 525 Kumquat Court, with access through the alleyway.
