Winner of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Instrumental Artist of the Year and two-time Juno award winning banjoist and composer, Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world. His new project is focused on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, and the new album brings together some of North America's most distinctive and creative roots musicians to recycle, re-imagine and recast traditional music. The repertoire includes Bahamian sea chanties, African-American a cappella singing from the Georgia Sea Islands, ancient Appalachian ballads, fiddle tunes and work songs collected from both well-known musicians and everyday folk: sea captains, cowhands, fishermen, homemakers, prisoners and farmers. Audiences will be transported as they listen to exquisite music played in this architectural marvel.
