The Blackberry Bushes on the Mounds!
LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE for an intimate show in the living room with one of the best string bands in the Pacific Northwest, The Blackberry Bushes!
Bring your favorite appetizer and drinks and show your support for incredible independent music in small, not-for-profit venues like Music on the Mounds.
The Appalachian Mountains are the meeting place of the fiddle and the banjo, and musical culture permeates the entire length of the Mississippi River. Jes Raymond and Jakob Breitbach may have started their musical journey in the rainy bottom of the Puget Sound, but their work is infused with the essence of the homes they wandered West from. Joined by Daniel Ullom on the mandolin and Forrest Marowitz on the upright bass, The Blackberry Bushes draw from the deep roots of American traditional music to create a playful and resonant sound with both twang and sophistication. They are emerging as a band of artists whose Americana is honest and generous with an obvious love of performing, spot on chemistry, and a live show that truly aims to stir the spirit.
Jes's songs connect the day to day with the muses of wonder, folk wisdom, earthiness, and impermanence. Backed by two, three and four part harmonies, she sings with joy and a desire for every person in the house to feel that she is singing to them. Jakob's virtuosic fiddle improvisation and Daniel's longtime immersion in bluegrass and old-time create a thrillingly potent onstage correspondence. Together with Forrest's exceptionally sensitive and deeply grooving bass lines, they propel a song-focused band to expand outward in exploratory delight. Jes's skillful flatpicking interlocks these soundscapes while the band simultaneously honors the genius of tradition and innovation.
It is a rare magic that allows a band to use voices from many genres in an acoustic instrumentation that retains distinct threads of sonic color. Elements of jazz, classical, pop and gospel saturate this modern string band sound that is buoyant, bold, and like their thorny namesake, rooted and growing, growing, growing.
All contribution levels are suggested minimum amounts, so you're welcome to add extra funds for the band or to help with mandatory venue expenses. We appreciate all the help we can get in making this a fantastic private venue that we can all enjoy together.
100% of your contributions through ticket sales directly benefit the musicians who play here. Making a contribution is sometimes referred to as "admission or buying a ticket", but this is not accurate. We call it contributing or participating, because Music on the Mounds is not a business that you buy something from, but rather a music co-op where we all pool our money together to pay for the fantastic music.
People under 25 are welcome with a responsible adult who has researched and approved the venue and the bands and musicians specific to this event.
We can't wait to see you and your friends on the mounds!
TICKETS WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE DOOR!
