This unique night of roots music will take you from Bentonia, Mississippi to Appalachia and beyond, with rich open tunings and deep grooves that stretch from the American south across the ocean to India and Mali.
New Englanders Ryan Lee Crosby and Ilana Katz Katz first crossed paths in 2019 at the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where they became fast friends and collaborators. They have since performed on stages all across the Northeast and in the Delta.
Ilana Katz Katz will open the night with a blend of solo blues fiddle and vocal, peppered with old time fiddle songs in alternate tunings. After more than a decade performing on Boston’s subway platforms, she plays solo concerts and regularly shares the stage with some of the most respected names in blues and roots.
Ryan Lee Crosby’s quartet features his dynamic vocals and droning guitars, supported by the hypnotic rhythms of Grant Smith’s West African calabash, Katz Katz’s intuitive fiddle textures and the melodic, nuanced harmonica of Jay Scheffler. Together, they weave a tapestry of global influences into a singular sound that expresses the universal, transcendent power of music.
