Ship in the Clouds
Ship in the Clouds is a new trio with Scott Nygaard (guitar), Jake Schepps (banjo), and Alisa Rose (fiddle), playing an electic mix of string music, including Bartok, Brazilian choro, and original bluegrass-oriented instrumental tunes. All three are dynamic players from the Bay Area music scene who sizzle in this acoustic trio format. They will bring their sound to the Arcata Playhouse on Sunday, November 16th for an evening of exceptional music.

Grammy-winning guitarist Scott Nygaard is one of the most inventive and original flatpicking guitarists in the bluegrass/acoustic music scene. Downbeat magazine called him "a phenomenally talented stylist."  He has performed and/or recorded with Tim O'Brien, Joan Baez, Chris Thile, Darol Anger, Jerry Douglas, Anonymous 4, and many others. Scott has released two solo albums for Rounder Records and 4 self-released albums.  Formerly the editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine, Scott has written hundreds of articles on music, musicians, guitars, and guitarists; authored two instruction books and an instructional video, and taught at music workshops from Fairbanks to Finland.

Jake Schepps made a name for himself as a banjo renaissance man, an artist with not only an adroit touch on his instrument but an intrepid, imaginative vision for contemporary string band music. Schepps's venturesome album An Evening in the Village: The Music of Béla Bartók (2011) finds common ground between the piquant beauty of the great Hungarian composer's take on Eastern European folk melodies and the big-sky vibrancy of new American acoustic music (watch Jake's NPR Tiny Desk Concert).  His current project is commissioning classical composers to write new works for bluegrass string band (banjo, violin, guitar, mandolin and double-bass) for an album of long-form works due out January of 2015.  

Fiddler and violinist, composer and improviser, Alisa Rose is a modern musician who easily navigates between many musical styles. She is a member of the genre-bending Real Vocal String Quartet, Supermule, and the Club Foot Orchestra. Recently the Real Vocal String toured Eastern Europe as Ambassadors of the State Department, recorded on Feist's album Metals, and performed with Feist on the Tonight Show.  From 2008 to 2012 Alisa was a member of Quartet San Francisco; their record QSF Plays Brubeck was nominated for a Grammy in 2009, for which Alisa was featured on NPR's Weekend Edition.
