In the 90s, backstage at Ben Freed's Muscoot Farm Bluegrass Festival, Lisa Gutkin, (fiddle, tenor guitar, voice), Mark Murphy (bass, cello), Michael Sassano (guitar, mandolin), and Wayne Fugate, (mandolin), gathered for a jam. Lisa pulled out one of her quirky originals and the four were on fire when Ben came around to hear what the commotion was about. The band was on the main stage 20 minutes later.
The band, ”Lisa's Pieces," gathers occasionally to lovingly perform their foot stomping, Irish-y, Jewish-y, Bluegrass-y, special something that Lisa is so well known for.
Lisa Gutkin is best known as the Grammy Award-winning violinist, singer and songwriter of the renowned Klezmatics, and for her score and performance in the Tony Award winning play Indecent. She has co-authored songs with Anne Sexton, Maggie Dubris, and Woody Guthrie, performed and composed for Sex and the City, played in Sting’s musical The Last Ship, and is a MacDowell Fellow.
