JAYME STONE'S FOLKLIFE

My friends Jayme, Moira, Sumaia and Joe are coming back to so cal on tour and will be doing a special show here at the house. This is an amazing group that takes acoustic music and celebrates it, turns it inside out, and plays and sings the hell out of it. Highly skilled with good taste! This will be a great night and the usual fun hang.

This is from Jayme's web page:

Stemming from the Lomax Project, Jayme Stones Folklife treats old field recordings not as time capsules, but as heirloom seeds passed down from a bygone generation. Planting these sturdy seeds in modern soil, this versatile gathering of musicians has cultivated vibrant Sea Island spirituals, Creole calypsos, and stomp-down Appalachian dance tunes for contemporary listeners. Their concerts and educational programs are moving, inventive, and participatory experiences that prove folk songs are indeed perennials for the people. The new album is out now on Borealis Records.
