Sheesham and Lotus & Son
Canadian trio Sheesham and Lotus &; Son are a sight to behold. The music is the main point, but the visuals put the whole thing over the top. Vaudeville era outfits, footlights that cast wild shadows across the ceiling, a homemade voice amplifier plumbed from iron pipes. They revive the early 20th Century with fiddle tunes, hokum blues songs, and ragtime string music. Sheesham plays gourd banjos and fiddles, and Lotus plays an invention called the contra-bass harmoniphoneum, which is a self-contained bass-harmonica and euphonium horn which can be used while plucking a banjo (!), and "Son" brings up the low-end on tuba.
