Chris Thile's performance at Caramoor, the cultural arts venue on an 80-plus-acre estate in Katonah, New York, this weekend streams online on Sunday at 7pm EDT. While the performance, taking place on Saturday night, was due to launch the venue's series of public, open-air concerts this summer, it will have to be closed to the public due to construction delays. So get your tickets to the Sunday evening broadcast at caramoor.org. Rachael & Vilray are due to give a concert on the Carmoor lawn next Saturday, July 25.

The Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, typically held in upstate New York, is online this atypical year, with both new performances and archival sets, airing free this weekend. Among the classic shows are the 2014 Nickel Creek performance, which took place not long after the release that year of the group's Nonesuch debut album, A Dotted Line, airing in the 8:45pm ET block on Friday; and the 2015 set from Michael Daves & Friends (including Punch Brothers' Critter Eldridge and Noam Pikelny) with Tony Trischka, airing Sunday at 3:15pm ET, featuring songs from his album Orchids and Violence, which was released on Nonesuch the following year. The free virtual festival is raising funds for the IBMA Trust Fund for COVID-19 Relief (ibma.org). For details, visit greyfoxbluegrass.com.
