This coming Sunday at Chandler, Jake Blount, Nic Gareiss and Laurel Premo, award-winning folk performers, will join forces in a bewitchment of rich tones, deft movements, and stories long untold. Through traditional songs familiar and arcane, this new trio celebrates the deep rhythms and subtle harmonies of America's eldest music.
Blount, Gareiss and Premo are not only skilled performers, but researchers with degrees in ethnomusicology, ethnochoreology and performing arts technology. Their years of experience as performers, educators and scholars in their respective traditions have drawn them close to the creative force at the heart of music-making.
The trio now brings the power of those deep bonds to bear in a wonderful performance at Chandler: a paean to their deepest roots written in wood, flesh, and lightning.
This is a "Pay What You Can" event: either purchase a ticket ahead at chandler-arts.org, or at the door contribute what's in your pockets toward the performers' fee.
