Going riding in the country in a Model A Ford Past the cows and the chickens, through the fields of corn Out across the flat lands and the rolling hills Feel the summer sun shining, hear the motor purr… And I’m just sitting on the front seat with two friends of mine Going to the country sure makes me feel fine Down gentle roads with no white line Like a pathway to another time… From ‘Riding in the Country’ by Kate Wolf

We extend a hearty thank you to our sponsors and the numerous folks that work with a smile to make this festival run smoothly.

Holed up in the western hills of Sonoma County loaded with bass (Matt O’Shea), drums (Jimmy Jacobs) and guitar (Ted Baggett), Smokehouse Gamblers emerged in early January 2005 as an indie folk americana outfit playing their first gig at Rouge Ale House in San Francisco. In November 2010 the band added lead guitar (Dustin Smart), mandolin (Frank Pellkofer) and percussion (Kevin Lynch). Mixing genres like creosote and corn whiskey, blended with rare sunshine and bell-bottom bluesy folk, the Smokehouse Gamblers music generates visions of terminal wisdom, broken windows and calloused woodsmen around a tire fire. Whether you trip over the upside down rake or the preacher man takes your mind, Smokehouse Gamblers load the van casing the neighborhood for good vittles and beer.

Catfish Jack Harmonica player Catfish Jack (aka Jack Chauvin) grew up in Oakland, California. He was originally inspired by the Chicago blues’ legends Little Walter, James Cotton, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Big Walter Horton and later fell under the trance of country players Sonny Terry, Charlie McCoy, and Mickey Rafael. Catfish cut his teeth playing blues in the late 1980’s Oakland/Berkeley blues scene and during this time shared the stage with many Bay Area blues artists including Tommy Castro, Cool Papa, Birdleg, members of the Robert Cray Band, Big Bones and Charlie Musselwhite.

REVIVAL TENT– RIVERSIDE STAGE

Friday

The Sam Chase “… a voice like a Nun on the lam with a mouthful of cigarettes and curse words in a lonely bar, drunkenly dancing next to a broken jukebox” – Rickshaw Shop Back after a memorable debut at the festival last year, The Sam Chase is more than ready to have you up, dancing, singing, laughing, howling and just plain having fun. His songs are scribbled, not written, on lipstick and sweat stained motel bed sheets because he likes the way the ink bleeds. His guitar runs on diesel and leaks like the morning after too much Whiskey. His is a show you’ll probably want to tattoo on your body so everyone will know that you knew him before he was cool.

His backing band, The Functional Alcoholics, is descended from Norse Warriors known as The Berserkers. Old Norse literature and historians note that Berserkers fought with an uncontrollable, trance-like fury. They would work themselves into a rage before battle, consuming drugged foods, and dressed in nothing but their enemy’s blood. The Functional Alcoholics follow their ancestors’ ancient practices before every show (since we are all friends here at the festival nobody should worry). Amazingly, after one year it would appear as if The Sam Chase, and his band, have been Kate Wolf Music Festival trained, and now it’s time for all of us to get The Sam Chase trained.

“Spark & Whisper have created an infective original sound based on pitch-perfect vocal harmonies and dynamic acoustic grooves that soothe and move the mind and body.” - The Pacific Sun

Sunday

Spark and Whisper is an indie-folk band led by singer/songwriters Velvy Appleton (vocals, acoustic/electric/slide guitars) and Anita Sandwina (vocals, guitar, mandolin) that delves into the rich territory of the modern American experience - our daily encounters and travails with technology, tradition, love, money, and the natural world. Their songs offer an unflinching look at our own humanity and are driven by the band’s signature sound of acoustic stringed grooves and beautiful folk harmonies. The music is unexpectedly uplifting, with powerful guitar work and a hard-swinging, percussive rhythm section. This is handcrafted folk music of the best kind.

“Similar to Ryan Adams and Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt, Jeremy D’Antonio captures the mood of the country’s wide-open road and the possibilities and loneliness it can bring.”- The Denver Daily News Tiny Television is a San Francisco band (by way of Denver, Colorado) that proves difficult to describe. Their sound is so familiar, but feels undeniably new: think hard charging, dark Americana, but with something that you just can’t put your finger on.

Jeremy D’Antonio and his band members (Jeremy D’Antonio vocals/guitar, Greg Benitz guitar, Dan Luehring drums, Brian Gregory bass, Jen Korte vocals, Dave Zirbel pedal steel) deliver solid, honest to goodness country-rock and original Americana. A tireless troubadour and brave balladeer, D’Antonio is an inheritor of Guthrie, Seeger and Cash. He expands their legacy by honoring and uplifting Americana music with an explosive emotional power and gritty vocals that illuminate the human condition while asking us all to not only to listen but also to join together for a foot-stomping good time.

More Performers Quinn Deveaux & The Blue Beat Review “This is one of those rare artists that reminds us that the essence of human soul is alive and well and living, in its most visceral form…” – Music Zeitgeist Quinn first started an early Chicago Blues band and then a New Orleans soul and gospel band. Now he has combined it all in the Blue Beat Review, a self-styled crossroads of his many musical roots. He harnesses the likes of Ray Charles, John Hurt, Fats Domino and Bo Diddley. Quinn DeVeaux and The Blue Beat Review is the dance floor between the sweet old times and new hard times. It’s New Orleans soul and early blues with the depth of cracked hands combined with the contagious dance rhythm you’ve been looking for all night. This band is dance music for when you’re feeling wrong and you wanna feel right. This band is dance music for when you’re feeling right and you wanna feel so fine. This band will make you clutch your heart. This band will make you move your feet.

Coyote Grace “They write heartwrenching melodies and make such textured harmonies that I find myself enraptured and taken by their timelessness of song.” – Amy Ray (Indigo Girls) If you’d like to watch from a front-row seat as roots music reinvents itself, look no further than Coyote Grace. At once both radically progressive and unashamedly nostalgic, the trio is at the forefront of a growing movement to redefine the meanings of “roots” and “tradition.” Armed with a bevy of acoustic instruments from guitar and upright bass to banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and accordion, Coyote Grace’s Joe Stevens, Ingrid Elizabeth and Michael Connolly fill theater, club, and festival stages with a wash of sound seemingly far too expansive for three musicians, mixing bluegrass and blues, soul and Southern twang into a unique sound that hovers just beyond the edge of ‘familiar.’ The sultry trio combines virtuosic musicianship combined with a humble, warm stage presence, all stemming from a history of self-invention – and re-invention.

Sunday continued Achilles Wheel

Greg Brown

“Whatever the style, the sound of Achilles Wheel is unmistakable and unique” – Amazon.com

“His voice is gravel-floored basement full of memories, ruminations, lusts and last ditch humor” – New York Times

Achilles Wheel is a high energy Roots and World music/Rock and Roll band from Northern California, featuring award winning songwriting played on numerous stringed instruments and a whole truckload of drums. In the wake of their breakout performance here last year, the band has been burning up stages all across California and is poised to travel much further in the coming year.

“Greg Brown writes and performs music that has been lived in and lived through; his songs have picked up lots of scrapes and bruises on the way to your CD player.” – Douglas Heselgrave, Paste Media Inc. Singer/song writer Greg Brown is known for his engaging story telling performance style. He sings with warmth and honesty, growling in a husky baritone about the overlooked details of everyday life. His songs tell stories creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at once beautiful, funny, thought provoking and filled with vivid imagery. A favorite of the Kate Wolf Festival over the years, he returns this year following the release of his latest album, ‘Hymns To What is Left’. Greg’s music is an intricate blend of blues, gospel, country rock and jazz. It is with great pleasure that we welcome this old friend of the festival back to the stage.

The fiery epicenter of Achilles Wheel’s sound is Jonny Mojo on lead guitar and vocals, surrounded by Paul Kamm and Shelby Snow on rhythm, bass and vocals, and Gary Campus and Mark McCartney on drums and vocals. Recently Achilles Wheel was a finalist with their song ‘Got A Tattoo’ in the ‘Race to TRI’ song contest, which many on the West Coast will recognize as a premier audio/video production studio run by Bob Weir. So if you love to dance and celebrate life, come see an Achilles Wheel show and make a joyful noise.

Rebirth Brass Band

Iris DeMent

“Like the city itself, New Orleans’ Rebirth Brass Band is a party” – The Austin Chronicle

“She’s the best singer I’ve ever heard” – Merle Haggard

Simply put, The Rebirth Brass Band is a New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the now infamous Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world.

When Iris DeMent sings, people listen. Her powerful vocals and introspective songwriting gave wings to the ‘90s alt country singer songwriter movement.

Rebirth is committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands while at the same time incorporating modern music into their show. In the wake of the sometimesstringent competition amongst brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down. Their signature brand of brass funk has won over several generations of music lovers, and in a post-Katrina world, their name and music has become the soundtrack to their musically rich hometown’s future.

Born in Arkansas, the last of 14 children and raised in Southern California, she grew up immersed in gospel music and traditional country. In the past sixteen years, the only album she released was 2004’s Lifeline, a gospel record with no originals. That hiatus is over, thankfully, as DeMent returns with both her vocal and songwriting acumen intact on Sing The Delta.

Irma Thomas

Just the title of the new record should let everybody know that DeMent, as always, is going to be singing about the South. She not only nails the sights, sounds, and smells with her vivid descriptions, but she also imbues the characters in her songs with emotions that feel honest and hard earned, partly because you get the feeling that she knows them all so well.

“…the long-reigning “Soul Queen of New Orleans.” – Pop Matters If you are looking for a voice that makes you sit up straight, look to Irma Thomas to deliver.

This year, Iris Dement will have a band accompanying her onstage, a first here at the festival.

With the exception of Fats Domino, Grammy winner Thomas is the most popular artist with roots in the classic period of New Orleans rhythm and blues. She maintains a loyal and diverse local audience, as any of her New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival performances prove. Young, old, black, white, New Orleanian, tourist, Republican, Democrat, Tulane grad, LSU grad: Thomas’ appeal is universal. Thomas’ voice is a true New Orleans treasure. The soul queen isn’t just from the city — she’s of the city, and her voice reflects that.

John Prine “Beautiful songs… Nobody but Prine could write like that.”– Bob Dylan “[Prine] appears on stage with such modesty he almost seems to be backing into the spotlight. He sings rather quietly, and his guitar work is good, but he doesn’t show off. He starts slow. But after a song or two, even the drunks in the room begin to listen to his lyrics. And then he has you.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

Currently celebrating her 50th Anniversary, she has recently received an Offbeat Award, A Blues Music Award, Big Easy Award, and The Mo Jo Magazine of London England Legends Award and was chosen by NPR listeners and panel as “One Of The 50 Greatest Voices of All Time.” A treasure that started during the golden age of soul music she remains as compelling and powerful today.

Some four decades since his remarkable debut in a Chicago bar on an open mike night, John Prine has stayed at the top of his game, both as a performer and songwriter. Recently honored at the Library of Congress by US Poet Laureate Ted Kooser, he’s been elevated from the annals of songwriters into the realm of bonafide American treasures.

Long considered a “songwriter’s songwriter,” Prine is a rare talent who writes the songs other songwriters would sell their souls for. Evidence of this is the long list of songwriters who have recorded gems from his extensive catalog, including Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon, Ben Harper, Joan Baez, and many others. Get ready to sing along…this is gonna be fun!

More Performers Marianne Faithfull

Alice Stuart & The Formerlys

“…blessed not only with a distinctive voice but with an understanding that songs can change dramatically with age and experience.” – Stephen Duesner for Paste Media Group

“There would be no Bonnie Raitt without Alice Stuart.” – Dick Waterman (Blues Hall of Fame inductee)

“Cool, confident clever” – Rock’s Backpages

“Alice cut the road that Bonnie traveled.” – Taj Mahal

Marianne Faithfull’s long and distinguished career (spanning five decades) has seen her emerge as one of the most original female singer/songwriters of our time; utterly unsentimental yet somehow affectionate, Marianne possesses that rare ability to transform any lyric into something compelling and personal; and not just on her own songs, for she has become a master of the art of finding herself in the words and music of others.

Alice Stuart continues to blaze a trail and raise the bar for herself and for women in music. In 1964 Alice was introduced at the Berkeley Folk Festival with a warm welcome that led to touring with folk and blues legends such as Joan Baez, Doc Watson, Mississippi John Hurt, Lightnin’Hopkins, Albert King and many others.

While the defining statements of many artists are made during their early years, Marianne Faithfull continues to develop her own voice: She sets herself aside from her contemporaries in her continuing quest to explore new creative areas in a career that has always been a positive process of self-assertion.

Stuart toured the US and Europe with Van Morrison, Commander Cody, Michael Bloomfield and John Prine. She appeared and recorded with Jerry Garcia, John Hammond, Richard Greene, Elvin Bishop, Dave Mason, Sonny Terry and Tower of Power. Singers Irma Thomas, Kate Wolf and Jackie DeShannon added Alice’s “Full Time Woman” to their repertoires and recordings. Her music holds within it a flame that burns and burns. Let’s extend a warm welcome, as the folks in Berkeley did some 49 years ago, to Alice and her top notch band The Formerlys (Marc Willett, Steve Flynn, LaMont Atkinson and Dan Tyack).

Taj Mahal Sublime folk blues – SF Gate

Alice DiMicele

”…- he’s part balladeer, part storyteller, part comedian. A Taj Mahal show is a lot more than just a concert.” – Matthew Green, SF Gate “If Foghorn Leghorn was a black man, then I was his grandson.” – Taj Mahal Composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Taj Mahal is one of the most prominent and influential figures in late 20th century blues and roots music. Though his career began more than four decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world – west Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the Hawaiian islands and so much more. What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical discovery. Over the years, his passion and curiosity have led him around the world, and the resulting global perspective is reflected in his music.

Alice DiMicele has ‘that thing’ that every other singer wants...that mix of amazing technique and dirty grit that will put you in that magic place right between crying and laughing. She’s a waterfall of soul!” – Sid Lewis (Founder of Acoustic College and Jamming 101 Seminars) For more than 23 years, Alice DiMicele has been playing her unique blend of Americana, groove folk, and acoustic soul to crowds across the United States. Based in the Pacific Northwest, DiMicele’s music celebrates the natural world and the people in it. Well-known for unique voice, original songs, and soulful delivery Alice has the ability to both turn a noisy bar silent within a few notes, and rock any festival stage with her full band.

Friday continued Angélique Kidjo “Africa’s premier diva” – Time Magazine For more than twenty years, Angélique Kpasseloko Hinto Hounsinou Kandjo Manta Zogbin Kidjo commonly known as Angélique Kidjo, has exuberantly shown the world that the music of her home continent is universal. Born in Benin, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Angélique Kidjo is one of Africa’s most internationally celebrated female musicians. Recently listed as one of the Guardian’s Top 100 Most Inspiring Women in the World, Kidjo is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and a tireless campaigner for women’s health and girls’ education in Africa. Don’t miss your chance to experience this unstoppable musical force. Combining Afro-funk, reggae, samba, salsa, gospel, jazz, Zairean rhumba, zouk, and makossa, Kidjo is the latest star to have emerged from the hotbed of musical talent in Africa.

Perla Batalla “... an astonishingly rich contralto capable of stratospheric arches of unadulterated emotion.” – Eye Spy “Maybe in the lofty mansions of La-La land or in the steamy nightclubs of Rio de Janeiro there is a voice to match young Perla Batalla’s but I haven’t heard it. Singers like Perla Batalla come along once in a great while...” – Los Cerritos Community News With her unique and soulful style that blends gypsy, folk, gospel, and pop music influences, Grammy nominated vocalist, composer, and arranger, Perla Batalla is a full-throated songstress who has created a beautiful song cycle that celebrates the mystical and magical history of Mexico. Performing in both Spanish and English and backed by her talented band, she traces the colorful stories of her ancestors through mesmerizing ballads, Mexican lullabies, and rhythmic harmonies that warm the heart. Her mission of honoring her roots and exposing young audiences to the beauty of music and the Spanish language is ongoing in her outreach endeavors throughout some of the poorest communities in the United States. In 2009 Perla was the recipient of the United Nation’s Earth Charter Award for extraordinary devotion to social and economic justice. The following year at New Mexico’s Border Book Festival, Perla was given their Premio Fronterizo Award for “healing work in the world”. Having accompanied Leonard Cohen (one of the great songwriters of our time) early on in her career as a primary back-up singer, on a couple of his international tours, Perla and her band will also grace the Arlo Stage (on Saturday) with the treat of a full set dedicated to his music.

Paul Thorn Band “After writing many discs of semi-autobiographical tunes that have drawn comparisons to John Hiatt and John Prine, the critically acclaimed singer/ songwriter - hailed as the “Mark Twain of Americana” - decided to do an album of covers. “I wanted to take a break from myself,” he reveals, “do something different, and just have fun.” – Perpetual Obscurity Records The first thing you notice is the voice, which is a good thing because a singer needs a distinctive voice. And this voice sounds like someone who has walked a long, hot, span over a dusty, Mississippi country road. By turns, soulful, raw, melancholy, brazen, funky, circumspect, serene, brooding and mutinous, the voice expresses the range of human emotions from forlorn grimness to incandescent optimism. Listen to Thorn’s gospel inspired music and you’ll end up either laughing or crying by the end of the song, maybe even a little of both. He has been a crowd pleaser for years with his muscular brand of roots music - bluesy, rocking and thoroughly Southern, yet also speaking universal truths. His songs are a conduit for that gritty part of the South where beleaguered wisdom is as likely from the bottom of a bottle of Johnny Walker Red as it is from the pulpit of an old country church. Paul will be joined by his long time touring band -guitarist Bill Hinds, keyboard player Michael Graham, bassist Ralph Friedrichsen and drummer Jeffrey Perkins.

Saturday continued Dave Alvin “It’s not very often that you can roll into a concert with sky-high expectations, and have them soundly and decidedly exceeded. But Dave Alvin managed to do just that...” – Dan Nailen, SLCene Blog Dave Alvin, Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and selfdescribed “barroom guitarist,” is widely considered to be one of the pivotal founders of the current Americana music scene. Since forming the highly influential roots rock/R+B band The Blasters, with his brother Phil in 1979, and throughout his long and critically acclaimed solo career, Dave Alvin has mixed his varied musical and literary influences into his own unique, updated version of traditional American music. Combining elements of blues, folk, R+B, rockabilly, Bakersfield country and garage rock and roll with lyrical inspiration from local writers and poets like Raymond Chandler, Gerald Locklin and Charles Bukowski, Alvin says that his songs are “just like California. A big, messy melting pot.”

Madeleine Peyroux “ ...a better slice of laid-back jazz you’d be hard pressed to find..” – Matt Brereton for Scotsman.com “The only thing that matters is the song,” says singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux. That conviction along with a ‘one of a kind’ voice has carried the Jazz artist from busking on the streets of Paris, all the way to mainstream recognition. Through intensely distinctive renditions of old classics and modern tunes by the likes of Leonard Cohen and The Beatles, Peyroux has proved to be an uncannily insightful ‘interpreter’ with her consistently impeccable choice of material. Much like Ray Charles who in 1962 jelled R & B, Gospel, Country and Jazz, Madeleine is at a nexus of styles, blending Jazz, Blues, Country and Pop. It’s a long way from the streets of Paris to collaborating with some of the world’s finest musicians. Still, where others may be content basking in the glow of praising reviews, this charmingly humble musician bravely explores new grounds showing that like jazz itself she is willing to take new chances.

Sunday Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem

Sherry Austin with Henhouse (Kate Wolf song set)

“…an intoxicating blend of roots music styles, with deep traditional roots and a healthy futuristic outlook. Strongly recommended.” – Vancouver’s Rogue Folk Review

“Her music has an equally apple-pie sort of sound to it, driving Austin’s voice (a relaxed, authentic alto) down the wellworn roads of honky-tonk country right up to the singersongwriter state line.” – Good Times Santa Cruz

On stage, they are Rani Arbo (fiddle, guitar), Andrew Kinsey (bass, banjo, uke), Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Kessel (percussion). Kessel’s percussion rig is 95% recycled, featuring a cardboard box, tin cans, caulk tubes, and a vinyl suitcase in lieu of a bass drum.

With four of the most popular Americana vocalists in the Monterey Bay area, Sherry Austin with Henhouse delights their fans with their engaging stage presence, upbeat songs, and ethereal harmonies. Fronted by Sherry Austin on rhythm guitar and vocals, Sharon Allen on vocals, Tracy Parker on bass and vocals, and Santa Cruz legend, Patti Maxine on steel and vocals, their music covers the range from sweet love songs to gritty, rockin’ songs about cars, trains, and love gone wrong. Singing with authority and passion, their distinctive blend of folk, country and rock, is filled with warmth and conviction, truly engaging listeners with their captivating spirit (which will not only be on display during their Kate Wolf song set but also with a set of their own songs on Sunday at the Revival Tent).

Red Molly “As usual, Red Molly cover all the bases: there’s something for fans of pretty much every Americana style ever invented here.” – New York Music Daily Since 2004, Americana trio Red Molly has been bringing audiences to their feet with gorgeous a cappella ballads, bluegrass-tinged folk and a touch of jazzy western swing, all done up in their trademark three-part harmonies, suggestive of the 40’s swing of The Andrews Sisters, signature dobro licks, inventive arrangements, and their warm, engaging stage presence. The band consists of Laurie MacAllister (bass, banjo), Abbie Gardner (dobro, banjo) and Molly Venter (guitar). Red Molly knows about optimism and joy. The band’s fans, referred to as “RedHeads”, have always responded to the sense that the band is a group of friends, sharing songs in their living room.

The Brothers Comatose “.... It’s time to put away your suit and tie and break out your whiskey jug because the Brothers Comatose aren’t going to take no for an answer.” – Performer Magazine

But what really sets this band apart is their connection—to each other, to the audience, and to the music. Simultaneously loose and tight, their playing seems to tick by invisible radar; it’s exciting, cathartic, and fun to watch.

Elephant Revival “Where words fail … music speaks.” That simple line atop Elephant Revival’s Facebook page contains only five words, but reveals volumes about the band’s reason for being. Music unites us in ways that no other medium can. Even when we don’t understand one another’s languages—we can be moved by a rhythm, soothed by a song. Brought together by a unified sense of purpose—the spirit of five souls working as one, in harmony, creating sounds they could never produce alone. The five souls in Elephant Revival are Sage Cook (banjo, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, bass and fiddle); Bridget Law (fiddle, octave fiddle); Bonnie Paine (washboard, djembe, musical saw, stompbox); Daniel Rodriguez (guitar, banjo, bass); and Dango Rose (double-bass, mandolin, banjo). All share vocals and write songs. Paine delivers additional beats via footstomps on plywood, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands, encased in antique leather gloves, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal.

The mighty quintet has made their way from the street corners and dive bars of their native San Francisco, to performances at such legendary places as the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival and last year’s Kate Wolf Music Festival. Their shows exude a foot-stomping, shout-along, drink-along atmosphere that can’t help but remind folks of a collective dancing and sharing experience reminiscent of friends and family gathered together on front porches and in living rooms of days gone by.

This Nederland, Colo., quintet are, needless to say, quite a sight to experience—especially when they fall into the pocket of a groove containing elements of gypsy, rock, Celtic, alt-country and folk. More of Saturday on page 14

2013 Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival • page 12

They also reuse and recycle (but try hard not to reduce) 150 years of American music. They hang a Georgia Sea Islands song on a New Orleans groove. They write lyrics for an Irish fiddle tune and underpin it with an Afro-Cuban Cajon. Leonard Cohen gets claw hammer banjo; Springsteen gets bluegrass harmonies. Their originals range from blues, to bluegrass, to Unitarian funk gospel, to crooner swing, to spooky folk-pop. With influences from Doc Watson to Django Reinhardt, from Fiddlin’ John Carson to the funky Meters, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem celebrates America’s past and takes it into the present.
