"Here is a recording of a teenager who somehow manages to play like the masters and sing like the cares of the world have been with her for multiple decades. Nora Brown carries all this seemingly with great ease. Her playing is confident and clear, her voice controlled and emotive." Folk Radio UK on Nora Brown Banjo's debut album, Cinnamon Tree on @Jalopy Records

#EastRiverStringBand plays on Friday 2/12/21 after #NoraBrown & #JacksonLynch and right before #BizBuz from Rome, Italy!! Eden and John’s East River String Band have been playing, releasing CD’s and LP’s and touring America and Europe since way back in the days of old..... around 2006 to be exact. The brain child of #JohnHeneghan, #EdenBrower was soon lured into the duo with promises of chocolate, a National Resonator #Uke and her name being before John’s in their lengthy moniker.They play a vast spectrum of traditional #AmericanBlues, #Country and #Popmusic ranging from the late 19th to the early 20th Century.
With John on vocals, guitar and mandolin and Eden on vocals, guitar, #kazoo and the aforementioned #resonatoruke their love and reverence of old music shines through in every song. They have released numerous albums and often have special guests sitting in with them for their recordings and live performances, including #robertcrumb, the famed underground cartoonist who also does all the artwork for the band causing Eden to exclaim, ‘My legs are not THAT big!” to anyone who will listen.
The new Secret Museum of Mankind album is here!
Pre-order /digital + vinyl/ starts today!
https://jalopyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/secret-museum-of-mankind-guitars-vol-1-prologue-to-modern-styles
Jalopy Records presents: The first new volume in the legendary series in more than 20 years. SMM Guitars Vol. 1: Prologue to Modern Styles is an atlas of recorded sound, featuring outstanding music, curated by Pat Conte. It is also the first volume of the Secret Museum to focus on a specific instrument, the guitar.
The new album presents guitar and guitar related music, recorded across the world from Spain, to Papua New Guinea, Greece to Ghana to India and more. The collection is drawn from Conte’s pioneering and remarkable personal collection of 78rpm discs, recorded in the 1920’s-1950’s.
The new Secret Museum is available via digital download and on vinyl, in a beautiful gatefold package. It includes a liner notes booklet by curator Pat Conte, original drawings of rare and unique guitars in Conte’s collection and beautifully remastered audio. Additionally, the interior gatefold design features a selection of historic images of guitarists, also curated by Conte and drawn from his collection.
A special very limited edition of 50 fine art lithographs of the “Bell Guitar” by artist Jeff Tocci, featured on the cover of the album, is available along with the LP.

Stay The Folk Home with Emily Eagen
Catch the @steelcityjugslammers at the 2-day Mid Winter Jug & String Band Rendezvous, Friday 2/12/21 after Biz Buz! On FB Live and YouTube, show starts at 8pm. The #SteelCityJugSlammers (Birmingham, Alabama) started in late 2012 with an inspiration to learn and recreate the sound developed and recorded by the original jug bands of the 1920's and 30's. Over the years they have shared the stage with amazing artists like #DomFlemons, #PokeyLafarge, #OldCrowMedicineShow, #RCrumb, #BlindBoyPaxton, #SierraFerrell, #RebirthBrassBand, #MollyTuttle, #JimKweskin & many more. Off stage the band has brought jug band music to the community by teaching thousands of kids and adults Jug, Kazoo, and Washtub Bass lessons. Keep an eye out for more jug band ruckus to come.
