Jake Xerxes Fussell House Concert
Roots Hoot House Concerts is pleased as can be to welcome back North Carolina-based singer, guitarist, and song-seeker Jake Fussell on Friday, June 9 for a show in our intimate music room. Singer, guitarist, and folk music interpreter Fussell has distinguished himself as one of his generations preeminent interpreters of traditional (and not so traditional) folk songs, a practice which he approaches with a refreshingly unfussy lack of nostalgia. By recontextualizing ancient vernacular songs and sources of the American South, he allows them to breathe and speak for themselves and for himself; he alternately inhabits them and allows them to inhabit him. In all his work, Fussell humanizes his material with his own curatorial and interpretive gifts, unmooring stories and melodies from their specific eras and origins and setting them adrift in our own waterways. Fussells latest album Good and Green Again was released Jan 21, 2022 via Paradise of Bachelors. Produced by James Elkington, the record navigates fresh sonic and compositional landscapes and is, perhaps, his most conceptually focused to-date. Singer/songwriter Sam Moss will open the evening. Doors are at 7 and music will begin promptly at 7:30 pm. This is a BYOB-only event.
