Haas Kowert Tice is a virtuosic acoustic trio consisting of three alumni of SMF’s 2012 Acoustic Music Seminar: Brittany Haas on fiddle, Paul Kowert on bass and Jordan Tice on guitar. The ability to reverently yet comfortably expand on tradition is what powers this trio: Brittany Haas’ exploration of fiddle traditions with Bruce Molsky, Darol Anger and Alasdair Fraser; Paul Kowert’s groundbreaking work with the Punch Brothers, the Dave Rawlings Machine and his studies with Edgar Meyer; Jordan Tice’s ensembles and recordings with like-minded artists Noam Pikelny and Casey Driessen. The thread that ties this all together is a driving passion to share great music with friends.
