Since playing together at Pete Seeger's Birthday Bash at Madison Square Garden in May, Nershi and Rodriguez-Seeger have been looking for additional opportunities to play together. Swallow Hill Music is thrilled to host them, along with Anger and Law, for a troubadour-style show, playing and telling stories in various combinations.
Bill Nershi is a founding member and guitarist for The String Cheese Incident, one of America’s most popular jam bands out of Boulder. Other projects include Honkytonk Homeslice (a trio that he co-founded with his wife, Jilian, and includes Scott Law), and the Emmitt Nershi Band, featuring Leftover Salmon’s Drew Emmitt. A seasoned veteran of flatpicking and a variety of acoustic styles, Nershi adds a unique, colorful perspective to virtually any musical situation he encounters, and his enthusiasm and playful spirit encourage an interactive, participatory experience for musicians and fans alike.
Exceptional among modern fiddlers for his versatility and depth, Darol Anger has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his involvement with numerous groundbreaking ensembles such as his Republic Of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, the David Grisman Quintet, Montreux and the Duo. Today Anger can be heard on NPR's "Car Talk" theme every week, along with Earl Scruggs, David Grisman and Tony Rice. He has recorded and produced scores of important recordings since 1977, is a MacDowell and UCross Fellow, and has received numerous composers' residencies and grants. He is a featured soloist on dozens of recordings and motion picture soundtracks.
Filtered through time and technology, delay pedals, phase shifters and a touch of '60s psychedelia, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger's music fuses the folk styles of his family heritage with modern day rock-n-roll. Whether he plays solo, duo, or with a band, on the guitar, banjo, mandolin, or harmonica, it's all distinctively Tao Rodriguez-Seeger. His music is a blend of the times. Perhaps traditional, alt-timey, or American traditional rock would be apt descriptions. He writes tunes and loves to dig up ancient folk songs, adding a verse or slightly rewriting them to reflect a more positive outcome from the old messages of cause and effect, fear and retribution than in the old moralistic tales.
Scott Law has been working with legendary artists for nearly three decades. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays drums and guitar, and his deep interest in American roots music led him to pick up the mandolin, which he doubles on frequently in concert. With any instrument in hand, Law is a bold, imaginative improviser with who plays with exuberance in his tone and a rare rhythmic concision that always makes the music sound bigger. He just released a new solo album, Living Room, and is working on a second release, Love & Repair.
