Encounters In Sound featuring Jed Wilson & Joe K. Walsh

Bradley Backstage presents the fifth Encounters in Sound concert with pianist Jed Wilson. Wilson, best known for his appearances on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion and collaborations with singer/songwriter Heather Masse, will be accompanied by mandolinist/songwriter Joe K. Walsh. Roots music isn’t made in a vacuum. It’s the creation of a community, of a circle of friends, of a teacher and a student. It’s something to be passed back and forth to be treasured. As an acclaimed master of American roots music, Joe K. Walsh knows this better than most. He’s toured with countless artists, collaborated with other master musicians like Darol Anger and the Gibson Brothers, founded progressive stringband Joy Kills Sorrow in the early 2000s, and is currently on faculty at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. “The touch of sawdust in his vocals, or the buzz of the mandolin strings may hint at the deep rural roots of Walsh’s music, but what he’s creating now is a new kind of tradition.”
