WoodSongs 863: Kaia Kater and Banjo Nickaru & Western Scooches - a podcast by The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Vodcast

KAIA KATER is the new soul of traditional music. Born of African-Caribbean descent in Qu?bec, Kaia Kater grew up between two worlds: one her family?s deep ties to Canadian folk music in her Toronto home; the other the years she spent learning and studying Appalachian music in West Virginia. The songs on her new album ?Nine Pin? are fueled by her rich low tenor vocals, jazz-influenced instrumentation, and beautifully understated banjo, and they?ve got as much in common with Kendrick Lamar right now as they do with Pete Seeger. No wonder Rolling Stone named her a new country artist you need to know.

BANJO NICKARU & WESTERN SCOOCHES are NYC based band that bring everyone together for a high-spirited 1920's New Orleans style jamboree with their fearless melting pot of rhythmic banjo, slide guitar fused with Gullah-Geechee tambourines, beautiful female country lead singing and harmonized calypso vocalizations. Their brand new album is ?Very Next Thing?.

WoodSongs Kids: Giri and Uma Peters are award winning multi-instrumentalists siblings from Nashville, Tennessee.
