The Crooked Jades
(10th Album Release Show with Special Guest Bruce Kaphan)
A San Francisco original, The Crooked Jades celebrate their 10th studio album release Beautiful World—a culmination of three decades of music-making and surprising musical influences. Pioneers in bringing old-time music to contemporary audiences, The Crooked Jades continue to evolve their unique sound by exploring the roots of Americana, while pushing boundaries and blurring genres. Their fiery and soulful live performances, punctuated with eclectic vintage instrumentation, are full of unexpected sounds and are sure to get audiences on their feet.
Our new album Beautiful World is a musical adventure in time from the 1880's to the1980's! In keeping with our reputation for our embracing diverse musical influences this album presents some surprising genre-blending tracks. Along with the driving fiddle tunes and traditional ballads that we are known for, we reimagined songs culled from the soundtracks of our own lives though the lens of old time music. We can't wait to share this music alchemy with you!
The core of The Crooked Jades are co-founders Jeff Kazor (vocals/guitar/ukulele), Lisa Berman (vocals / slide guitar / banjo / harmonium), and Erik Pearson (vocals / banjos / ukulele / harmonium / slide guitar.) The current line-up features two sensational new band members. On fiddle is the phenomenal Amy Kassir hailing from Durham, North Carolina, who recently released her solo fiddle tune album. On bass is the multi-talented Joshua “JZ” Zucker, who brings a cinematic sensibility to the Jades’ sound. Featured special guest pedal steel virtuoso, Bruce Kaphan, will be joining The Crooked Jades for this show.
