Tony Trischka’s latest musical release, "Shall We Hope",  is the culmination of his innovative, distinctly personal approach to entertaining us while creating perhaps the most captivating musical experience of his career.

 

In "Shall We Hope", Tony adeptly creates a story that combines spoken word with moving and evocative musical selections.  This massive recording project includes songs about miners, soldiers and gamblers, often portrayed in haunting musical harmonies that could only come from Tony’s deeply personal perspective and imaginings of this historical period. Whether it’s a soldier’s love letter, an historic presidential speech, or a song about hope, what you’ll hear seems just as appropriate today as it was 150 years ago.

From the moment we decided to open the ArtistWorks online Banjo course, Tony Trischka was at the top of our minds to lead it.
 
For nearly 40 years, Tony has been at the forefront of the Bluegrass genre, evolving the style as much as he’s preserved it. Since 1971, he has recorded numerous solo albums, collaborated with artists like Peter Rowan and Stacy Phillips, and produced Steve Martin's Grammy-nominated album, Rare Bird Alert.
