Swing & Sway with Sarah Alden, featuring Kaethe Hostetter @ Branded Saloon

If New york City was transported to the heart of the appalachian mountains and if you found yourself in a scary hallow on a very late night this might be the band that you hear. It’s music inspired by traditional appalachian tunes, old-timey jazz and balkan music, then reinterpreted with dense thick sounds that are moody, yet driven like a wild train. This group has recently completed their first record which will be out in September. Sarah Alden and Rima Fand of the luminescent Orchestrii play twin fiddles and sing, Brandon Seabrook shreds a tenor banjo, Raphael Mcgregor sweetly swings on the Lap Steel, Jason Sypher lays down the bass and some guest artists.
