    Join us for a rare gathering of Boulder County’s most adventurous musicians. Seating is limited, so please get your tickets soon!

    Two-time Juno Award winning banjoist, composer, and instigator Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world. His album, “The Other Side of the Air,” is a travelogue of imaginary landscapes and faraway lands. The music traverses the Cinnamon Route through Persia and India and revisits and reinvents melodies Stone collected in West Africa. In concert, you’ll also catch his quartet playing a Trinidadian Calypso, Bulgarian mountain dance, Stone’s lush, edgy originals and songs from his Lomax Project that reimagines traditional music collected by field recording pioneer Alan Lomax.

    Stone will be joined by musician extraordinaire Paul Fowler. Known for his experimental vocalism, jazz piano, and concert compositions, Fowler is the Chair of Naropa’s Music Program. Recently he recorded with Janet Feder, sang with Boulder Opera, composed a piece for the San Juan Symphony, and is completing a comic opera.
