Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project<\/h4>\n

The Lomax Project is a community of like-minded musicians coming together to rediscover their roots and collaborate. We’re multi-generational multi-instrumentalists. We have Grammy-winner songster Tim O’Brien, premier old-time musician Bruce Molsky, infinitely creative fiddler Brittany Haas (of\u00a0Crooked Still), singer and body-percussionist Moira Smiley, captivating songstress Margaret Glaspy, neo-old-time guitarist and singer Eli West, guitar virtuoso Julian Lage, brilliant\u00a0bassists Greg Garrison and Joe Phillips\u00a0and special guests\u00a0Mollie O’Brien\u00a0(voice), Ron Miles\u00a0(trumpet).<\/p>\n

The album will feature many constellations and combinations of all these artists. You’ll hear hand-clapping, foot-stomping, twin fiddles, banjo, bouzouki, accordion and a swarm of singers crowded around a single microphone.<\/strong> The source recordings we used come from the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress in Washington, the Association for Cultural Equity’s Global Jukebox and (mostly out-of-print) Lomax\u00a0collections including the Deep River of Song and Southern Journey series.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
