Rising Americana/old-time ensemble The New Quintet will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Stecoah Valley Center in Robbinsville. 

Podcaster Nicholas Edward Williams headlined last year’s Harvest Festival to positive accolades for how he traced the roots of American music from its cultured past to artists playing it forward.

The “American Songcatcher” returns to Stecoah The New Quintet, a band guided by the passion to honor the songs and styles that have shaped our country — from traditional folk to ragtime, old-time and early country. The ensemble’s big harmonies, intricate melodies and lush textures feature original and reimagined traditional material.

The New Quintet formed in 2020 while making Williams’ critically acclaimed release “Folk Songs For Old Times’ Sake.” It was heralded by well-regarded figures of the roots community such as David Holt, Oliver Wood, Dom Flemons and J.P. Harris. Since then, The New Quintet has been on stages throughout the Southeast.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students. Dinner will also be available for purchase in the Schoolhouse Cafe starting at 6 p.m.
