Matt Flinner Trio - Nov.19th at The Alpine Playhouse

The McCall Folklore Society Presents,

THE MATT FLINNER TRIO

on NOV.19th at The Alpine Playhouse in McCall, Idaho

"Multi-instrumentalist Matt Flinner has made a career out of playing acoustic music in new ways. Starting out as a banjo prodigy who was playing bluegrass festivals before he entered his teens, Flinner later took up the mandolin, won the banjo contest at Winfield Kansas in 1990, and took the mandolin award there the following year. Flinner's decision to focus on eight-stringed instruments, especially the mandolin, was primarily a function of opportunity. He explains, "I was getting more work on the mandolin." Sugarbeat, an eclectic quartet that also featured banjoist Tony Furtado, lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Demerath, and bassist Sally Truitt allowed him the opportunity to master the mandolin in a contemporary folk and bluegrass context.

Flinner is now widely considered one of the hottest mandolin players on the acoustic scene. He tours actively with his own group and as a member of the ‘new acoustic’ trio Phillips, Grier & Flinner with bassist Todd Phillips and guitarist David Grier. Flinner's 1998 debut solo release The View From Here drew on such diverse inspirations as Miles Davis, David Grisman, and Celtic artists The Bothy Band and was one of the most highly praised acoustic albums of the year.

Flinner’s sophomore album Latitude expanded on his ability to evoke the sonic textures of the best acoustic jazz while paying homage to his many influences in bluegrass, folk, and Celtic music. Produced by Grammy award-winning bassist Todd Phillips and featuring an all-star cast of acoustic players including Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, David Grier, and Darol Anger, Flinner and friends created a genre-bending masterpiece filled with memorable melodies. Flinner’s playing exudes an exquisite blend of bluegrass heart and rich atmospheric texturing and all of the guests on the album deliver brilliant, spirited performances." -

McCall Folklore Society Logo

The McCall Folklore Society has over 30-years of history in presenting Long Valley's largest summertime festivals, known simply as The Summer Music Festival. The festival was originally held at the Alpine Playhouse in McCall and then at the University of Idaho Field Campus near Ponderosa Park for many years, but since 2004 has been held at the historic ghost town of Roseberry Idaho.


The McCall Folklore Society also holds smaller concerts, events and fund-raisers during other times of the year, bringing in single performers and small performing groups to help keep culture active during the off season. The McCall Folklore Society assumes that many of these events may not be profitable, but are in keeping with the Society’s love for live music alive! The Society’s ambition is twofold:

  • To reach as broad and diverse an audience as possible
  • To make high-quality live music accessible to all, regardless of economic status.
To this end, the society is committed to keeping admission prices to events as low as possible, typically free to $15 or less. Membership from individuals and businesses supports the organization. PEASE JOIN US!
