about

A fiddle-led instrumental trio featuring fingerstyle electric guitar and bowed double bass

This self-produced trio record marks Premo’s second major instrumental work, following a banjo-nyckelharpa duet collaboration with Swedish artist Anna Gustavsson (2016). Premo’s voice is singular as she creates a new landscape by combining walking-paced traditional fiddle repertoire with finger style guitar, unearthing polyrhythms and intonation choices that connect back to banjo and old blues roots in American music. Two driving fiddle duets provide a breath in the midst of the gravity of the trio material, and an instrumental rendition of a shape note hymn closes the collection with a thunderous reverence that further reveals Premo’s nature to produce harmonically huge arrangements with deep-bodied pulse.

“For an album demonstrably unconcerned with even the basic premise of the construct of “authenticity,” it accomplishes that squishy term impeccably and effortlessly. Yes – with electric guitar.” – Justin Hiltner, The Bluegrass Situation.

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
