  • Description

    Focusing on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this collaboratory brings together some of North America's most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle and re-imagine traditional music. The repertoire includes Bahamian sea chanties, African-American acappella singing from the Georgia Sea Islands, ancient Appalachian ballads, fiddle tunes and work songs collected from both well-known musicians and everyday folk: muleskinners, roustabouts, sawyers, prisoners, homemakers and school children.

    The project has transformed performing arts centers (Colorado Chautauqua, The Strathmore) and festivals (Vancouver Folk, Rockygrass, Celtic Connections) into creative hubs where eminent musicians gather to re-imagine their roots, create new music and share their collective cultural heritage with diverse audiences. Collaborators include Grammy-winning songwriter Tim O'Brien, Bruce Molsky, Moira Smiley, Margaret Glaspy, Brittany Haas, Eli West, Drew Gonsalves, Ron Miles and Julian Lage. A recording of twenty songs with extensive liner notes will be out in March 2015 on Borealis Records.

    "Folk music is like our national parks. It belongs to everybody."
    – Tim O'Brien
