See the Future! Saturday Night Sampler*
* Made Possible with Funds from the New York State Council on the Arts
Tonight's "See the Future" concert pairs two mature ensembles whose original folk songs and interpretations of familiar classics have an emotional depth that goes beyond the ordinary. South Carolina singer-songwriter Sally Spring is one of those artists instantly recognizable as the real deal. Called "a treasure" (Gene Parsons, The Byrds) and "a gem" (Bob Harris, BBC), Sally's "transfixing, gorgeous alto" (Sing Out!), "first-rate compositions" (No-Depression) and "fantastic phrasing" (Net Rhythms, UK) give her folk ballads a yank-at-your-heartstrings emotional power that is mesmerizing. Accompanied by her husband, the eclectic, rhythmic Ted Lyons on vintage resonator guitar and stripped down drumkit, Sally's voice and lyrics paint an Americana musical portrait that "reaches deep inside, is beautifully layered, has something to say, and generates emotional heat that is white hot." (Americana UK).
Bread and Bones is a Vermont-based, harmony-driven acoustic trio performing new music steeped in folk tradition. Their style has been compared to Richard Shindell, Richard Thompson, and John Gorkasoulful, rootsy, haunting songs that paint a landscape in your imagination. Mixing originals, traditional songs from America and the British Isles, songs by other songwriters and a few jazz standards, Bread & Bones has achieved national recognition on the folk festival circuit and back home their 2008 album was named Vermont's Best Traditional Album.
