NARROWSBURG, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance presents Cricket Tell the Weather, a Brooklyn-based string band with its roots deep in the bluegrass tradition, May 16 at 8 p.m. at the Tusten Theatre at 210 Bridge St.

Winners of the 2013 FreshGrass Award, Cricket combines indie folk songwriting and traditional bluegrass instruments. Award-winning songwriter Andrea Asprelli (fiddle) came to the East Coast from Colorado’s Front Range, and was shaped by local bluegrass communities scattered across Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, before co-founding Cricket Tell the Weather and setting up shop in Brooklyn, NY. Winner of the 2011 Podunk Songwriting Competition, Asprelli is joined by Doug Goldstein on banjo, Jeff Picker on guitar, Sam Weber on bass and Dave Goldenberg on mandolin.

Tickets cost $18 at the door; $15 in advance. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and show time is at 8 p.m. Visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org or call 845/252-7576.
