Bluegrass Royalty Comes to Alamogordo: J2B2 Set to Light Up Flickinger Center

 The 2025–26 Premiere Series at the Flickinger Center for the Performing Arts is turning up the heat with its second concert, featuring none other than J2B2 — the John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band, a supergroup of legendary proportions. On stage at 1110 New York Ave, Alamogordo, this powerhouse ensemble promises a night of bluegrass like you’ve never heard before.

Who Is J2B2?

J2B2 is the brainchild of John Jorgenson, a musical virtuoso whose career spans genres and generations. Known for his blistering guitar and mandolin work, Jorgenson has played with icons like Elton John, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Luciano Pavarotti, and Barbra Streisand. He’s a three-time Academy of Country Music “Guitarist of the Year” and has been hailed by legends like Peter Frampton and Brad Paisley as one of the most versatile and inspiring guitarists alive.

Joining him are equally decorated musicians, including Herb Pedersen, a former Foggy Mountain Boy who once subbed for Earl Scruggs and played with Lester Flatt himself. Pedersen’s deep roots in harmony singing and folk music bring a rich authenticity to the group’s sound.

Together, J2B2 blends traditional bluegrass with fresh arrangements and genre-bending flair, creating a sound that’s both timeless and thrillingly new.
Tickets are still available for this September 25th performance…
