Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem

A bracing fusion of American roots music with splashes of contemporary pop and jazz: four piece band: Rani Arbo (fiddle, vocals), Scott Kessel (percussion, vocals), Musically, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem serves up a jubilant and unabashed mix of traditional, original, and contemporary sounds. Arbo's beautiful, expressive alto is at the helm, with rich four-part harmonies, a 100% recycled drum set, fiddle, guitar, and bass. These artists draw their vintage American sounds and their incisive songwriting from the same deep well. An original Unitarian funk gospel song? You begin to get the idea. Their show fearlessly explores the nooks and crannies of the human condition; the Boston Globe called it "playful and profound." Here are four musicians who pick up what's lying around from tin cans, to old songs, to stories and create something wonderful and new. Please check out their web site.
