We have to give some major props to Big Fat Gap, who have graciously volunteered to play at BreastFest 2008, held at La Residence on August 22, 2008. Big Fat Gap is a locally based bluegrass band that performs regularly in the Triangle area. If you haven’t listened to their music, check out their Myspace page and buy a ticket to come see them play live at our event!
“Members of Big Fat Gap have performed with Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, Chris Thile, Tony Trischka, John Cowan, Darol Anger, Jim Lauderdale, Jeff Autry, Wayne Benson, Craig Bignell, Luke Bulla, Pat Flynn, the Steep Canyon Rangers, the Biscuit Burners, Bill Evans (Miles Davis), and John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra). Big Fat Gap’s two banjo players, Andy Thorn and Ryan Cavanaugh, have won the Rocky Grass and Merlefest banjo competitions; Andy Thorn (2003 Rocky Grass) and Ryan Cavanaugh, (2004 Rocky Grass and 2004 Merlefest). Big Fat Gap banjo player Ryan Cavanaugh is now being featured as Béla Fleck’s replacement with Bill Evans and Soulgrass.”
And now, thanks to some random person on YouTube, we bring you a sample of what you can expect.
