SUMMARY:Saha Gnawa
DESCRIPTION:Co-led by Maâlem Hassan Ben Jaafer and Daniel Freedman\, the critically-acclaimed ensemble Saha Gnawa unites the founders of Innov Gnawa with leading figures from New York City’s jazz and contemporary music scenes to reimagine modern Gnawa music. Often referred to as “Sufi Blues\,” Gnawa is rooted in Morocco’s ancient history. Over centuries\, infectious rhythms and polytheistic spiritual beliefs originating from West African slaves integrated with Islam and the indigenous culture of Morocco\, giving birth to a hybrid spiritual sect and musical community. The lyrics of Gnawa songs are prayers invoking saints and spirits for freedom and liberation. In a recent five-star album review\, Songlines noted: “Whereas previous Gnawa-jazz fusions have seemed to ruminate on concepts of ancientness\, this project instead revels in taking listeners on a voyage to the sound of a future New York\, a future Essaouira\, and a future of inspired imaginations from nowhere-in-particular.” \n\n\n\n\nThis performance is sponsored in part by Mr. & Mrs. John Tucker

SUMMARY:Old Crow Medicine Show
DESCRIPTION:With Founding Member Willie Watson \n\n\n\n\n\nO.C.M.S. Big Iron World Tour: Back to the Roots \n\n\n\nOld Crow Medicine Show will return to rooms where it all began this spring with the O.C.M.S. Big Iron World Tour: Back to the Roots—a series of intimate shows celebrating the band’s earliest recordings and some of the places where those songs first took shape. On this tour\, the band will perform their first two label releases—O.C.M.S. and Big Iron World—in their entirety. The setlists will trace the foundation of Old Crow’s catalog\, played in smaller venues where the band first stopped in the early days\, many of which they haven’t returned to in years. The performances will be presented in a more stripped-down configuration\, emphasizing the songs themselves—built to carry their weight without spectacle\, production tricks\, or distance from the audience. It’s a return to closeness: songs played up close\, in rooms where every word and harmony matters. Together\, the Back to the Roots tour and the vinyl releases reflect a band that has helped define the modern American roots movement—and continues to lead it. By returning to these songs\, these rooms\, and this way of playing\, Old Crow Medicine Show underscores what they’ve always done best: push tradition forward\, expand the reach of string band and folk music\, and remind audiences that songs built with care and conviction can last\, travel\, and keep finding new life. \n\n\n\n\nThis performance is sponsored by HunterMaclean\, Lesley Francis PR\, The Kennickell Group\, Robin & Sandy Stuart and Visit SavannahThis performance is sponsored in part by Queensborough National Bank and Trust
