Whether your veins run with bluegrass blood or you got your introduction from that Coen brothers movie a few years back with George Clooney and the hair grease and John Goodman as the bad-tempered one-eyed salesman (yeah, check it out if you haven’t seen it), it’s tough—if not downright impossible—to resist the appeal of this twangy, aurally infectious genre, steeped in dust and sweat and soul and sepia-toned Americana. Dedicated to the memory and spirit of Johnny Baldwin, this one-night-only showcase will bring together—for the first time in five decades—Grand Ole Opry legend Bobby Osborne, “one of the founding fathers of bluegrass,” along with some of slickest pickers on the planet. If your toes don’t start involuntarily tapping, check your pulse. www.mauiarts.org 242-7469.
