Sounds of Americana - Folk & Progressive Bluegrass - Punch Brothers, Watchhouse & Sarah Jarosz * 3
    #27907139 - 08/17/22 06:01 PM (1 year, 5 months ago)

Howdy folks... I've long been a fan of pert near anything musical, and my Oh my, was I treated to something special a week and a half ago at the beautiful and relatively intimate Ford Theatre in Hollywood, California, where longtime personal favorite and virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile and his band of Punch Brothers adorned the stage alongside Watchhouse (whom I've been seeing every chance I've been given since their early days as Mandolin Orange) and Sarah Jarosz, who was new to me but offers up an intimately soulful and powerful voice.

In spite of the herbal brownie that was bookended by whiskey, red wine, a fine ginger heavy dark and stormy and copious ale, I somehow managed to hold the camera relatively steady from our second row seats, to capture the encore of this collective group's west coast tour closer (my apologies for the unbridled screams and off key vocals from behind the lens).  For anyone who may be fan of folk and progressive bluegrass, please clear your next 16 minutes and fire up your best audio system, and I humbly guarantee that you will not be disappointed.







As a Lee Jones so poignantly noted in the comments of my upload:
Quote:

Here's the deal: we've all been to shows full of superstars. At the end, they all get up on stage, and play some random fiddle tune or three-chord standard. It's mostly chaos, but it gives everybody a chance to take a picture that has all of their heroes on the stage at once.

This is nothing like that (I know - I was at the shows on the 5th and 6th). This was carefully and lovingly arranged and choreographed. The songs they played are not trivial, and they all had to go learn the tunes and their parts. Then they came out and played as an acoustic Americana orchestra.

If you have a chance to see this tour before it's over, run don't walk to get a ticket. You will leave the show changed, for the better.





The central, south and east coast leg of this tour starts tonight in MA, and Bela Fleck is on board for a handful of the shows!  If you can, you should go see them.

Sarah Jarosz, she got a nice voice. love her crazy remake and when doves cry.


--------------------
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Ah yes, I added her cover of When Doves Cry to my playlist in the wake of this very show I'm sharing above.  Here's a capture of a cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" from a night or two before the show I caught (although they also played this cut the night I was present).  Fantastique.

I miss Chris Thile's weekly program on NPR. It always had great music.
