From the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge, the Joe Cirotti Trio delivers a high-energy, roots-driven sound blending American folk, jazz, country, bluegrass — with a dash of gypsy jazz and alt-country swagger.

Formed in 2015, the well-oiled string band of Joe Cirotti (guitar), Pete Lister (upright bass), and Timmy Coyle (mandolin, guitar) has become a crowd favorite, known for their masterful picking, tight harmonies, and infectious stage presence. Whether as a trio or expanded with banjo, fiddle, dobro, or percussion (often joined by founding member Mike Alexander), they create a sound that’s both steeped in tradition and refreshingly modern.

Their 2023 self-titled debut album is available on CD, vinyl, and all major streaming platforms. Drawing on influences from Doc Watson and Tony Rice to Django Reinhardt, Pink Floyd, and Van Halen, the trio stirs up a one-of-a-kind mix that keeps audiences coming back for more.

Opening the concert will be Desmond Diehl, a young local musician who has already made his mark on the Ross Farm stage with recent performances. He’ll be joined by Robert Wolf, a NYC-based guitarist.

We’re excited for another night of music in the barn as summer turns to autumn! Doors open at 6:30 p.m., concert begins at 7 p.m. Seating provided inside the barn, and is limited – get your tickets now! Rain or shine — no refunds.
