Event
Pesky J. Nixon & Spuyten Duyvil
With rich harmonies and musical versatility these musical brothers from Boston have an infectious energy that brings the audience into their world, songs, and stories. Compelling harmonies and narratives rein in disparate instrumentation including zydeco accordion, mandolin, a variety of tribal percussion, and all sorts of string instrumentation. Jay Moberg of Boston's WUMB says of the group, "These guys represent what I love about music...great playing, thoughtful lyrics, and musicians who actually enjoy playing together!"
Called the "hottest new band in folk music" by legendary Philadelphia folk DJ Gene Shay, Spuyten Duyvil has grown from a core husband and wife duo to add Chicago-style harmonica, a drummer, and a wicked lap steel. They play unapologetically amped-up Americana mashing together blues, Southern Old Timey, gospel, bluegrass, jug band, Appalachian, and punk rock. Hailing from NYC they mine local history for tales of the peculiar individuals and accidents that make New York 'the island at the center of the world'. Their 'original traditionals' conjure embittered civil war veterans, recalcitrant small town bawds, suicidal bureaucrats, star-crossed lovers and brave-hearted fools navigating the mysteries of daily life.
