Caramoor presents its first New Shoots Festival with three groups that are transforming and re-interpreting the traditions of bluegrass and traditional music. The Punch Brothers, featuring virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile - renowned for his incredible spontaneity and restless imagination - is the hottest group to be creating wide-ranging music out of the worlds of bluegrass, folk, and chamber music. Singer, songwriter, and banjoist Abigail Washburn - a true embodiment of Americana - has elevated folk to a soulful, moving universal musical language. From Irish, Old-time, and Bluegrass to Swedish folk music, Sandra Wong-fiddle and nyckelharpa - is a veritable encyclopedia of traditional musics from around the globe.

Schedule of events is as follows:

4:00pm Sandra Wong and the New Trad Trio
5:30pm Abigail Washburn and Group
7:00pm Dinner Break
8:00pm Punch Brothers with Chris Thile
