First Congregational Church of Hancock, 47 Main St., Hancock, will host progressive-acoustic string band High Horse for Music on Norway Pond Sunday, March 2, at 4 p.m.
The Boston-based band performs a mix of bluegrass, old-time and Celtic music with alternative rock influences. The lineup includes fiddler Carson McHaney, cellist Karl Henry, guitarist G Rockwell and bassist Noah Harrington.
McHaney has performed alongside artists such as Aoife O’Donovan, Jeremy Kittel, Esperanza Spalding and The Westerlies and has been a featured soloist with the Harvard Baroque Orchestra and the Eureka Symphony.
Henry has a master’s degree from New England Conservatory in the contemporary musical arts program and an undergraduate degree from Oberlin. Originally from Sioux Falls, S.D., he is a multi-genre musician who grew up with a steady diet of a variety of musical styles.
Harrington is an award-winning bassist, composer, bandleader, and educator from Lexington, Mass. He is a 2019 graduate of the Berklee College of Music, with a degree in bass performance. Harrington’s musical journey has taken him across the country and as far afield as Peru.
A multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer and bandleader, Rockwell has performed and competed on stages across the country. In 2022, he won the Freshgrass competition award for banjo. He brings a cross-cultural sound into his original music with global influences from Celtic fiddle music to Middle Eastern folk tunes.
