Big Richard with special guest The Cody Sisters

March 27, 2026 @ 8:00 PM

Doors open an hour before showtime.


Big Richard crafts bluegrass for the 21st century’s cultural chaos, channeling intensity, humor, and catharsis through hard-driving instrumentation and raw vocal power. Their new album Pet—recorded live to tape to capture the ferocity of their shows—pulls together the band’s most urgent material, from explosive originals to charged reinterpretations like Dave Olney’s “Millionaire” and Cecelia and Andy Thorn’s “Red Fox Run.”

Formed by four powerhouse musicians—cellist Joy Adams, mandolinist/guitarist Bonnie Sims, fiddler Eve Panning, and bassist Hazel Royer—the band brings deep musical training, years of touring, and a shared love of pushing bluegrass past its comfort zone. Their sound blends bass, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and Adams’ distinctive cello, giving the music both grit and emotional weight.

Pet drops February 5, 2026 on Signature Sounds and showcases everything Big Richard is known for: blistering instrumentals, socially charged songwriting, raunchy humor, and moments of surprising tenderness. With tracks that swing from circus-chaos to quiet vulnerability, the album captures a band performing at full force—alive, human, and unafraid to provoke.

The Cody Sisters

The Cody Sisters band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic Folk and Bluegrass music in Colorado, the United States and the UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with their bass player Will Pavilonis, sisters Megan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Maddie (guitar, banjo, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today.

In May of 2023, The Cody Sisters released their self-titled EP marking a new beginning for the band. It is their first release since parting ways with their former image of “young girls in a family band” and it portrays a sense of maturity and musical understanding that reveals a new dimension to their artistic expression. They set out to explore new sounds and styles while still holding true to their bluegrass roots, and they have done just that. This new music is an invitation to connect, to feel, and to journey together through original lyrics and captivating instrumental arrangements. 

The Cody Sisters have a sound that is original, exhilarating, and heartwarming all at the same time. With strong ties to traditional American acoustic music, they continue to stun their audiences both in the US and abroad.
