Rich Derrig Live at Heaven’s Door Speakeasy
Get your boots ready — Rich Derrig is bringing his bluegrass flatpicking show to Heaven’s Door Speakeasy on September 19th at 8PM, and it’s shaping up to be a foot-stomping good time you won’t want to miss.
A Flatpicking Experience Like No Other
Rich Derrig’s show is built around bluegrass flatpicking, a guitar style that incorporates fiddle melodies right onto the fretboard, delivering the kind of intricate, high-energy picking that defines the genre’s greatest players. It’s a technique that turns the guitar into something closer to a fiddle, and in Rich’s hands, it becomes a showcase of speed, precision, and soul.
A Journey Through Bluegrass History
Rich Derrig’s set spans decades of bluegrass tradition and innovation. Expect to hear echoes of Doc Watson’s iconic train songs, the driving, high lonesome sound pioneered by Bill Monroe, and the influence of modern greats like Billy Strings, who’ve carried the flatpicking torch into a new generation. It’s a set list that honors where bluegrass came from while celebrating where it’s headed.
Why Heaven’s Door Speakeasy Is the Perfect Setting
There’s something special about hearing acoustic flatpicking in an intimate room, and Heaven’s Door Speakeasy delivers exactly that. As a members-only social club with a private bar and prime live entertainment, it’s the ideal setting to catch every note of Rich Derrig’s picking up close — the kind of experience that gets lost in a bigger, louder venue.
