Reciprocity Music presents:Ayla Nereo in Chattanooga - w/ Biko Casini & The NEW Quintet
The Official Sanctuary Summit pre-party!
Join us on a journey, an experience to uplift, inspire and open us deeper into ourselves, and stronger in our kinship.
A performance with sonic muse Ayla Nereo, sharing pieces of her new album Sovereign Kin - Book I: The Spark, new dance productions of past songs, and intimate acoustic renditions to drop us deeply into the moment. And possibly a few improvisational or requested surprises, just for the Chattanooga family.
Ayla’s concerts are a pure transmission that opens the heart and deeply inspires the creative soul.
"One of the most poignant voices currently floating about." (Huffington Post)

About The NEW Quintet:
Honoring the songs and styles that have shaped our country from Traditional Folk to Ragtime, Old-Time and Early Country, The NEW Quintet features storyteller and musicologist Nicholas Edward Williams (Guitar, Vocals), Emma Dubose (Fiddle, Vocals), Jade Watts (Upright Bass, Vocals), Gordon Inman (Clarinet) and Cody Ray (Guitar, Lap Steel). The ensemble's big harmonies, intricate melodies and lush textures rain upon both original and reimagined traditional material. Since forming in 2020 while making Williams' critically acclaimed release Folk Songs For Old Times' Sake, which has been heralded by well-regarded figures of the roots community such as David Holt, Oliver Wood, Dom Flemons, and JP Harris, The NEW Quintet has been on stages throughout the Southeast at festivals, concert series, listening rooms and
theaters, and will be unveiling their first release in late 2023.
