Brought to you by members of The Old Tone Festival team comes a new daylong musical odyssey on Sept. 30. What's that sound?? That tone that hangs over high wide mountain tops, sinking down into narrow hollers, and wading through damp winding bayous? That ringing that stumbles into the hooch-houses of Storyville and wafts around the smokey tables of Chez Florence? That melody that drifts over the breezy islands of the Pacific and Caribbean and roars in the swirling swollen ocean itself? - A grainy, warm, spirited Voodoo vibrato that pulses with soul and sass through decade after decade of music from the Americas and their surrounding ports of call. We might call it Global Americana.
Come celebrate this wide net of human expression at THE DOWN COUNTY JUMP music festival on Sept 30 at the Race Brook Lodge.
Noon-11pm. Nine bands. Eleven straight hours of spirited transformative performances from some of the most dedicated roots musicians anywhere.
