The Nightjars have Gabriel Furtado on guitar, with fiddler Maya Leibowitz and cellist Ellen Gira. Together they reimagine American acoustic music through a wide lens, blending old-time, bluegrass and Celtic influences into a sound that feels both grounded and exploratory. Deeply informed by tradition but never bound by it, the trio pushes acoustic music into new territory. With intertwining fiddle and cello voices, luminous harmonies, textural guitar work, and an infectious rhythmic energy, their music radiates the unmistakable pleasure of musicians fully engaged with one another—on stage and in the studio.”
