Two-time Juno Award winning banjoist Jayme Stone will play River Run Centre’s Co-operators Hall on April 5 at 8pm.
Stone is touring North America in support of his third album, Room of Wonders, inspired by folk dances from all corners of the world.
Stone thwarts the banjo’s bluegrass stereotypes, with a repertoire inspired by musical traditions from across the globe, including Africa, the banjo’s land of origin.
His new album explores music from Norway, Sweden, Bulgaria, Brazil, Italy and North America and includes a movement from Bach’s French Suite, a Moorish sword-fighting dance and Stone’s lush, edgy originals.
