Joe Cirotti & Mike Alexander Play Bluegrass | Middle Valley Cultural Center, Long Valley

Showtime has changed from 4 to 5.
Our first show of the 2025 Music in the Valley Concert will be held in the MVCC in Long Valley featuring a unique blend of traditional Bluegrass like only Joe Cirotti & Mike Alexander can provide. With Joe’s extraordinary command of the acoustic guitar and Mike’s insane mastery of the mandolin and banjo, they’ll take us on a ride enjoying some of the greatest traditional bluegrass songs from greats like Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, and others.
