Zing Went The Strings
On Friday, Sept. 19, Our Times Coffeehouse welcomes fall with a concert by Harpeth Rising, three very talented women who know how to sing and rock a banjo, a cello and a violin.
Harpeth Rising chose to name themselves after a river because water is both dynamic and powerful. These words also describe the music created by the trio of Jordana Greenberg (violin, vocals), Rebecca Reed-Lunn (banjo, vocals) and Maria Di Meglio (cello, vocals). Unapologetic genre-benders, they fuse folk, newgrass, rock and classical into a sound that is organically unique. Hallmarks of their music include expansive three-part harmonies, consummate musicianship and a deft yet soulful lyrical perspective, weaving together ancient and modern ideas.
Their concerts are high-energy events in which both their abilities and their passion for performance are obvious. After only a few months as a band, they embarked on a self-booked tour of England, which included a performance with The Bath Philharmonia. They were invited to perform at The Cambridge Folk Festival the following summer, and have since played folk festivals across England and the United States. Despite the presence of only three string instruments on stage, the three women produce a profusion of sound generally created by a much larger ensemble.
The show starts at 8 p.m. and the suggested donations are $15 adults; children under 12, $6. Tickets will be on sale at the door. No pre-sales are available. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Our Times Coffeehouse is in the Ethical Humanist Society building located at 38 Old Country Rd. in Garden City, two miles west of the Meadowbrook Parkway, next to the blue water tower. For more information, please visit www.ourtimescoffeehouse.org or call 516-741-7304.
