Joseph Decosimo, Luke Richardson, Cleek Schrey
Beehive Cathedral
Three of the most compelling musicians in the American traditional music scene, Joseph Decosimo, Luke Richardson, and Cleek Schrey explore Old-Time repertoires with fiddle, hardanger d’amore, banjo, pump organ, and voice. The culmination of a dozen years of collaboration between these Tennessee and Virginia natives, the trio invites audiences into rich encounters with traditional music from the Appalachian and American South.
The trio taps into the beautiful ambiguity and energy of the South’s older fiddle, banjo, and song repertoires. Grounded in their deep study of the old music, their performances draw listeners into uncluttered, spacious worlds of sound and feeling.
