| The Crooked Jades | |||
| Saturday, April 23 - $18 | |||
|
The Crooked Jades have been playing "old-time with an attitude" since 1994. This San Francisco based band helped to spawn the West-coast old-time revival which has the thirty-something, pierced and tatooed crowd square dancing. This quintet of accomplished singers and instrumentalists play an array of vintage and contemporary instruments including guitar, dobro, Hawaiian slide, fiddle, clawhammer banjo, banjo uke and fretless minstrel banjo. Led by founder, Jeff Kazor, The Jades draw from a vast collection of pre-radio material ranging from soulful old-time ballads to rocking string-band dance music as well as their own traditionally-inspired compositons. Two of their finest albums, The Unfortunate Rake: Volumes 1 and 2 were co-produced by "idiosyncratic Americana artist" Richard Buckner. They'll be bringing the music back home for the Merle Fest and stopping by Common Fence Music along the way.
