An Evening With Michael Prewitt at Cafe No9

Michael Prewitt learned to play the mandolin a couple decades ago in the hills of East
Kentucky, where he soaked up the music of Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, and J.D. Crowe
and the New South, before lighting out for the Upper Midwest. While there, he became
enamoured of Midwestern and Canadian fiddle music, and co-founded Back Up & Push, a
Minneapolis-based bluegrass band that released a regionally well-received album, before
joining the Grammy-nominated and IBMA award-winning bluegrass band Special Consensus.
After touring with Special Consensus for three years, winning two IBMA Awards and being
personally nominated twice for IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year while with the band, he left to pursue a solo career as a singer-songwriter, now fronting his band Michael Prewitt & CrunchGrass Supreme.He released two albums in 2024, 'The Peerless Mountain Sessions', an album of old fiddle tunes played on the mandolin in a bass, banjo, mandolin trio setting, and 'Something He Can Handle' his debut full band original vocal album.He lives and teaches in WIlliamsburg, Kentucky.Please note this ticket price DOES include a BYOB fee should you wish to bring alcohol to the venue.All additional purchases of non alcoholic drinks and home baked sweet treats from the cafe counter are always very much appreciated.
