Moonshine Ballads and Various Charms

The Gryphon offers a new Americana program called Moonshine Ballads and Various Charms with their longtime collaborator Patricia O’Callaghan which is an evening of music that, as they put it, "evokes open skies, dark tales, and lazy afternoons. From Arlo Guthrie to Aaron Copland, Charles Ives to Randy Newman, these are songs where nostalgia and hardship walk comfortably hand in hand. A southern waltz by Gillian Welch next to a northern ballad by Ron Sexsmith leaves one feeling the vast and beating heart of Americana and beyond." This is the Gryphon’s second major project with Patricia, a classical soprano-turned-cabaret singer, and their sound together is nothing short of mesmerizing.
