WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[David Houck]

Thanks for the Playing for Change - Peace Train; loved it.

This collaboration has a new album coming out in September.  Here's the first single release; which I think is wonderful.

Väsen is Olov Johansson (nyckelharpa)
Mikael Marin (violoncello da spalla and a blue electric viola)
Brittany Haas (fiddle)
Paul Kowert (double bass)
Jordan Tice (guitar)

Väsen & Hawktail - Hawk Ale

I've been watching some of their live collaborative shows. Very interesting fusion.

Here's one... it's kind of a string quintet vibe. But Nordic Folk crossed up with Appalachia.

It’s got a bass solo! 😀

I’ve heard of Brittany from Live From Here.   This is a pleasant tune.

So grateful for this thread.  Pretty sure it was Edwin that brought Lara Rosseel to attention here.   
Her compositions and work with her quintet are incredible.


This is a solo bass piece from Hert.  It is a live recording, no over dubs just a loop pedal, an artist and her instrument.

  Chaka Khan: Tiny Desk Concert

Watching some older video of AK&US. With most of the attention focused on her singing, it's easy to forget Alison is a formidable instrumentalist as well... a world-class fiddler.

Sierra Hull's band, at FloydFest night before last. Just a couple miles from here. The tune is "Bombshell", an older original of hers.

[edwardofhuncote]

Just taking a moment to note the generational gap between those two bands... and realize I watched the genesis of both.

In the mood for some slow blues?  How about Rod The Mod, backed by Aynsley Dunbar, Jack Bruce, and Peter Green?

Thank god my mother was a Rod Stewart fan from early on otherwise I would have only thought of him for "Do ya think I'm sexy". He was really good in the Jeff Beck tribute last year too.

Has there ever been a bad version of "1952 Vincent Black Lightning"?  Not that I've heard.  Just came across this one:
