Event
Billy Wylder at The Stone Church with The Break Maids
From the front-lines at Standing Rock to the archaic streets of Jerusalem, the Sahel Desert to Carnegie Hall, music has been the source of strength for Billy Wylder. The band features Avi Salloway (Bombino/Hey Mama/Avi & Celia) joined by an inspired cast of singular artists who have performed in over twenty five countries, including concerts at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, Newport Folk Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Montreal Jazz Fest, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center. From 2013-16, Salloway toured the globe with Bombino (Nonesuch Records), the Tuareg guitar hero from Niger, Africa. While on the journey and since returning, Salloway wrote a collection of new material that will be released on the bands forthcoming album in 2018.
The music weaves together American folk and rock with sensibilities from the Sahara Desert: think Andrew Bird meets Ali Farka Toure, Pete Seeger and Talking Heads. Mother Earth is at its center, surrounded by stories of love, conflict, change and dreams.
The band has toured extensively, performing and collaborating with renowned artists including Jack Johnson, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Bombino, The Low Anthem, and Pete Seeger.
The Break Maids are an all-female trio, writing and performing original glam-stomp music in Southern Vermont since 2011. Seven Days VT compares their sound to an ethereal chorus in a Greek tragedywith shimmering harmonies as beautiful as a full moon on a cold Vermont night. With Faith Wood on electric bass and harmonica, Emily Burkland on acoustic guitar and Ida Mae Specker on drums, they play original Rock n Roll with a splash of Folk Punk
