Take old time music off the back porch, throw out the hillbilly reputation, and put it in the hands of a group of guys that like to work hard and play even harder. Pert Near Sandstone rejuvenates American stringband music with raw energy; they play tightly-crafted original material that lends itself to the modern audience, as well as being stewards of the old-time and bluegrass traditions.  Welcome to the show!

Funkadesi has been hailed by Time Magazine, and even caught the attention of President Barack Obama, who said:  “Funkadesi really knows how to get a crowd fired up! There’s a lot of funk in that desi!”

Funkadesi proudly hails from Chicago, representing the diverse multiethnic communities within the city.  What distinguishes Funkadesi as a group is each band member’s unique and uncompromised cultural/musical contribution merging to create one unifying sound and vision.

When Robert Randolph talks about his new album, Lickety Split, a few words come up over and over—”joy,” “freedom,” “energy.” Which is no surprise, really, because those are the same things that immediately spring into a listener’s mind when these twelve tracks from the virtuoso pedal steel guitarist and his longtime accompanists, the Family Band, explode out of the speakers.

ALLISON RUSSELL’S clarion voice wraps around the broken country-soul croon of JT NERO, delivering their tales of hope and despair. Echoes of mountain gospel, doo wop, and classic soul, with back porch instrumentation.  Birds of Chicago is a collective based around JT Nero and Allison Russell. Whether touring as duo or with the full family band, Nero and Russell have emerged as two of the most compelling new voices in North American Roots music.
