"Roots music of the present day"
These Canadian urban minstrels pen lazy melodies that will warm your soul and your toes. They call their style 21st-century roots music. Take the blues, the wail of a gypsy fiddle, punk street poetry, a Cajun love song, Depression-era jazz, and sounds from around the planet, mix it all up, and add sweetness, grit, and soul. Then you've got Po' Girl, which has lately been the hit of the festival circuit from Canada to Cameroon. Po’ Girl showcases a wide array of instruments-from gutbucket bass, accordion, clarinet, banjo, dobro, guitar, to electric bass, glockenspiel, piano, harmonica, bicycle bells, drums -- and they all trade off instruments. Says Rambles magazine of Po' Girl's music: "On the first note I’m lost in a dreamy, dusty, road-ruled world.” Po' Girl released a pair of albums in 2009 and is on the bill for the 2010 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.
JT Nero opens this evening's show.
