Sugaree String Society takes Pete Seeger’s boundless optimism and Woody Guthrie’s critical and clever tongue, and weaves them with blistering mountain banjo and a high lonesome sound in the tradition of bluegrass trailblazers such as Earl Scruggs and Dr. Ralph Stanley. With defiant wit, Jodi Jones and Brendan Macie beautify the bitter truth of modern life as an act of radical love and solidarity. Their music is guided by tradition but never bound by it, bringing a unique sensitivity to old-time repertoire tunes and contemporary protest songs alike.
