Jubilee Gardens

Jubilee Gardens is the brainchild of singer-songwriter-guitarist Jubilee David Connolly who leads a superb band of players whose core include guitarist Dan Hunt, Ed Melikian on oud, cellist Mary Servatius, Paul Walker on saxophone & clarinet, percussionist Joe Zupan, violinist Rainer Reichel, keyboardist/recording engineer Paul Provost and Gail Hunt on bass and vocals. It's an amazing treat when all are able to make the show!

On their latest album Natural Art, the group blends jam band, pop, folk, world, country, and (I can't help but hear) the band Chicago minus the horns in a seamlessly organic way (it must be the guitar work). Eclectic, dreamy and inventive, Jubilee Garden's music crosses genres and listener's boundaries with it's timeless sound and evocative subject matter. The instruments blend beautifully together creating a colorful tapestry of sound. Connolly's vocals are perfectly suited for the material while his guitar playing is equally compelling. This is truly an album of meticulously written and performed music by a band of accomplished players. [D.S.]
