By Bloodshot Records

One such non-label act James Elkington (The Zincs, Steve Gunn, Richard Thompson, Jeff Tweedy) took on the Watersons’ “Christmas Is Now Drawing Near At Hand,” premiered over at NPR Music.
The album can be pre-ordered here.

The Voice Of Suka
By The Polish Cultural Institute New York
In the 1990s, with only a 19th-century painting as a guide, the classically trained Polish musician, composer and teacher Maria Pomianowska painstakingly reconstructed the Bilgoraj suka and Plock fiddle, a lost medieval ancestor of the modern violin.
Since then, she has been crafting a new repertoire for the instrument, blending the plaintive melodies of Polish folk music with the flavors she has absorbed in her musical travels across North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. With earthy vocals and a small instrumental ensemble, she will spin a hypnotic musical experience invoking powerful ancient spirits.
