Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge & and Aoife O'Donovan (#2113H) Duration: 56:30 STEREO TVG
JULIAN LAGE & CHRIS ELDRIDGE first full-length album 'Avalon' is a vivid snapshot of this duo's repertoire, circa 2014; a portrait of a burgeoning friendship between two virtuosic players; and, at its heart, a pristinely recorded love letter to the sound of the acoustic guitar. Lage has, since childhood, been highly regarded in jazz and new music circles for his own work as well as for his collaborations with such artists as Gary Burton, Nels Cline, Fred Hersch, and Jim Hall, among many others. Chris Eldridge is equally noted in the progressive bluegrass world for his stints with The Seldom Scene and The Infamous Stringdusters, which led to his joining Chris Thile's adventurous, Grammy-nominated quintet, Punch Brothers. AOIFE O'DONOVAN has gained wide recognition through an impressive list of projects including the captivating lead singer of the Boston-based progressive string band Crooked Still and 'The Goat Rodeo Sessions' (with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile). The Washington Post describes her singing as "almost too gorgeous for its own good." She has made regular appearances on A Prairie Home Companion and collaborated with some of the most eminent names in music across a wide variety of genres from Alison Krauss to Dave Douglas. O'Donovan spotlights her latest project 'Man in The Neon Coat: Live in Cambridge'. WoodSongs Kid: Beth Davis is award winning fiddle player and singer from Carbondale, Illinois. She is 12 years old.
