Sugar in the Gourd
Sugar in the Gourd, named after a traditional foot stomping fiddle tune, is every bit as edgy and just as much fun. These four talented women have the added depth of beautifully constructed original songs covering topics from trains, drinking, love, and redemption; all the way toa conversation with God. Merrily, Aubrey, Lisa and Lynn comprise this delightful Americana / Roots quartet joining us a return visit to Música Del Río.
 From old blues to original swing tunes; with an Appalachian murder ballad thrown in, “Sugar” will make sure we have a tasty musical sampling from the old, to the new; with the irreverent mixed in for good measure. Their beautiful three part vocal harmonies along with fine musicianship on violin, guitar, mandolin, upright bass and banjo, make them a refreshing musical treat.
Along with opening for Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and John Sebastian, Merrily Weeber, on vocals and guitar; has co-written with great musical luminaries such as Jack Tempchin, Janis Ian and Lloyd Price.
Starting out professionally at a very young age, Aubrey Richmond, on vocals and violin, has maintained a highly successful international career as a top studio fiddler and touring artist.
Born into a family of bluegrass musicians, Lisa Salloux, on vocals, mandolin and guitar, has kept her music and song writing moving with a careful blend of the contemporary and the traditional.
A well-known poet and lyricist, Lynn Shipley Sokolow, on upright bass and banjo, brings an adequate mix of irreverence to the overall scheme of things with Sugar in the Gourd.
Combining their diverse backgrounds and songwriting styles, Sugar in the Gourd is bringing a truly unique blend to us for a great evening. We are looking forward to sharing these fine musicians with you for their return to Música Del Río on September 17th.
