lomax project coming to DC area

Hey, Everyone! Jayme Stone's Lomax Project album has been out for a month and getting rave reviews. Highlights below. We have two upcoming shows in the DC area. Hope you can come and please help us spread the word in your community! Apr 30     Barns of Rose Hill — Berryville, VA May 1       AMP by Strathmore — North Bethesda, MD                              Jayme Stone's Lomax Project  Featuring Tim O'Brien, Margaret Glaspy, Brittany Haas & Joe Phillips Focusing on songs collected by field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this "collaboratory" brings together some of North America's most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle, and reimagine traditional music. The repertoire includes Bahamian sea shanties, 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: sea captains, cowhands, fisherman, prisoners, and homemakers. Out now on Borealis Records, the album features 20 songs, 15 musicians, and a 60-page booklet with notes by Stephen Wade and a photo essay by Michael Wilson. Website | Tour Dates | Listen Download on Bandcamp Download on iTunes Buy CD at Borealis "An essential album."  FOLK ROOTS "A truly inventive spin on some very old tunes."  GEORGIA STRAIGHT "A transatlantic session with blood, guts and grit." THE HERALD "An album of beautiful, intriguing, thoughtful music coming from a collaboration of outstanding musicians who apply their talents together. It's an album with a beginning, a middle, and an end... asking us, as listeners, to immerse ourselves in the idea of it all. It rewards that attention as much as it captures it, leading us to the music, rather than pushing us to it." SING OUT! "What results is a marvelous expression of Stone's collaboratory distillation of the folk process." BOSTON GLOBE "One of the most compelling and rich roots music recordings of recent years." PEGHEAD NATION "It places new wonders alongside old favorites, for a listening experience that's fresh and fun no matter how familiar you are with Lomax's collection." HUFFINGTON POST "This project is not about the collector -- it's about the songs and the way Stone and his musical team take them to new, often harmonious, heights." CBC MUSIC "A testament to the endless inspiration the songs Lomax recorded are still able to conjure." UTNE READER "In every track you'll hear the utter joy that came from making this record, and that joy is infectious." PENGUIN EGGS "A musical evangelist, Stone loves using fresh approaches to get people hooked on wider musical traditions." EDMONTON JOURNAL "The warmth and spontaneity wins you over."
