Join Zoe & Cloyd for a celebration of their fifth studio album, Songs of Our Grandfathers!
Asheville-based Zoe & Cloyd’s music highlights their emotive songwriting and signature harmonies, with four albums to date that showcase the breadth of their collective musical spirit, seamlessly combining original bluegrass, klezmer, old-time and folk with sincerity and zeal. Now, Zoe & Cloyd are releasing an album inspired by their grandfathers’ musical histories in bluegrass and klezmer music, entitled Songs of Our Grandfathers.
For Natalya Zoe Weinstein and John Cloyd Miller of Organic Records’ semi-eponymous Zoe & Cloyd, tradition is less a choice in musical styles than it is a family legacy — or, to be more precise, a pair of legacies: Miller is the grandson of original bluegrass fiddler Jim Shumate, while Weinstein’s grandfather, David, was a klezmer musician who made his living on flute, clarinet and saxophone. The duo have woven these musical strands together before, but now they’re taking the fusion to a new level in an entire project.
“Songs of Our Grandfathers is inspired by the 1995 album by David Grisman and Andy Statman entitled Songs of Our Fathers, a beautiful project composed of Jewish and klezmer music,” they offer. “We conceived our album in a similar vein, albeit with klezmer and bluegrass, as an homage to our grandfathers and their unique musical stories.”
The duo will be joined by Kevin Kehrberg on upright bass and Bennett Sullivan on banjo and guitar for their album release show.
Their previous appearances at White Horse have all been very well attended.
Thus, advance ticket purchases are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!
