Glenn Jones w/ Liam Grant & Helen Hummel Trio

Glenn Jones is a unique player in the world of solo guitar. Steeped in both American Primitive guitar music as well as rock and experimental music, Glenn Jones creates rich sonic tapestries with a distinct and stirring voice. Endlessly curious, Jones has spent the better part of four decades exploring the boundaries of expression and storytelling with the guitar and banjo. On Vade Mecum, Jones draws on his personal history to tell stories with elaborate musical detail and emotional weight. Exploring the complexity of personal experience, emotions and our shared histories, Vade Mecum finds Jones painting his music in boundaryless colors, captivatingly vivid. Liam Grant is a New England guitarist with a punk ethos, cut from the American Primitive cloth. The restless guitar explorations, modal epics, and driving uptempo rags recall the likes of Grant's pedagogue; Takoma Records, and the path that was paved by his forebears John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker, Max Ochs and later Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Jack Rose, and others. Seasoned solo performer, Helen Hummel is joined by Sturgis Cunningham (Drums & Percussion) and Matthew Thornton (Cello & Bass). Originally from the green mountains of Vermont, Helen's songwriting reflects the rural landscape of her upbringing and the addition of Sturgis and Matthew brings new depth and emotion to Helen's dynamic sound.
