World Class Musicians To Play In Woodstock During Elm Street's Second Season Of The Lantern Series

Alternative country trio The Lone Bellow kicks off Elm Street Cultural Arts Village's second outdoor concert season, The Lantern Series, as part of their 2019/2020 Season To Prevail. "This season really resonates with us as an organization - we learned a lot from our first season of The Lantern Series and we're really excited to make it more engaging with our community in its second season," says Elm Street's Executive Director Christopher Brazelton on how the theme of prevailing extends beyond the theatre season. The outdoor concert series presents a mix of genres and cultures to excite, surprise, and entertain concert goers.

The Lone Bellow burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut in 2013. The Nashville-based trio, featuring Zach Williams (guitar/vocals), Kanene Donehey Pipkin (multi-instrumentalist/vocals), and Brian Elmquist (guitar/vocals), quickly became known for their transcendent harmonies, serious musicianship and raucous live performance - creating what NPR calls, 'earnest and magnetic folk-pop built to shake the rafters.'

In 2015, the band released Then Came The Morning, produced by The National's Aaron Dessner. The album was nominated for an Americana Music Award and took the band to numerous late night shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Show With David Letterman and Later...with Jools Holland among others.

Soulsha is a party, a revolution, and an adventure through different traditions. It brings together some of Boston's top musicians in Scottish, West African, and Funk music to create a sound you won't find anywhere else on the planet.

The band formed through a series of serendipitous meetings in the thriving and intersecting multi-cultural melting pot of Boston. Many of the members are virtuosic and highly esteemed tradition-bearers in their styles. In Soulsha, they saw a chance to bridge divides. The music they've created is a conversation between cultures that breaks down all the boundaries, moving the audience to abandon their assumptions as they lose themselves on the dance floor.

The sound is fun but deep, fresh but familiar, immigrant and yet deeply American.

Gina Furtado's innovative and unique musicianship and songwriting, although based in traditional music modalities, breaks free from the assumed constructs and makes a new musical statement that's influenced by emotion, is played with the highest skill, and expresses an enormous verve and vitality.

With an intent to use the banjo as a medium of personal expression, Furtado moves through varied modes of musical treatments. Although she's known mainly known for her work as the banjo player for Chris Jones and the Night Drivers, she has a long history with her banjo. Born and raised in Front Royal, Virginia, Gina began touring up and down the east coast in her tween years with her siblings, earning countless ribbons from fiddlers conventions, a strong reputation in the regional bluegrass scene, and a stamp from Bluegrass Today as "absurdly talented."

Swedish Jam Factory is a tap dance/music duo based in Los Angeles, California, pioneering a new hybrid of tap dance and musical expression. Imagine a Gene Kelly/ Donald O'Connor duo, but instead of a good old fashioned Singin' in the Rain traditional musical theatre tap break, they're playing bluegrass instruments, saxophone, accordion, piano, and more. It's a show of quick-footed, rhythmic, melodic expression- an explosion of physical, musical energy.

Thomas Bergstig from Stockholm, Sweden, and Isaac Middleton from Harlan, KY met while working on musical theater projects together in Memphis, TN. What started as tapping to kill time on breaks took on a life of its own. It's exciting, it's novel, it doesn't make much sense, and it's a little hard to explain. But what SJF knows is that it's fascinating and captivating to both create and watch.
