(Town of Nelson, NY – Nov. 2015) Folk musicians Patchy Sanders will perform Friday, Nov. 6 at The Nelson Odeon. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Music starts at 8.
Whittled down, the name Patchy Sanders becomes a mythical muse, an unknown source of inspiration and beauty. Based out of Ashland, Ore. they are 6: Danielle (banjo) and Jacqui Aubert (vocal), Dan Sherrill (guitar), Sara Wilbur (violin), Ian Van Ornum (mandolin), and Eric Jones (bass). Working with eclectic themes from dreams, fairy-tales, after-life, wild lands, and more, Patchy crafts stream-of-consciousness story music with an emphasis on melody and lyrics. These aren’t songs as much as they are musical emotional experiences which conjure other worldly journeys. Their music fits as well in an acoustic art-house as it does in a farm house hootenanny hoe-down or main-stage at a pop festival.
Touring behind their debut record The Wild Peach Forest, Patchy’s momentum has been building during their extensive NW concert season in 2014.
Notable festival appearances include, Kate Wolf Music Festival, Oregon Country Fair, The Britt, Beloved, Northwest String Summit, CA Worldfest. They’ve also played historic venues in the Bay Area like the Great American Music Hall and The Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse.
Seeking to broaden modern folk’s traditionalist approach, Patchy is always working on fresh original music bending towards avant-folk, with folk-orchestral arrangements blending diverse genres and musical styles. This is contemporary, independent, eclectic, eccentric, folk music which critics have been, with effort, trying to categorize. Like many things which remain hard to classify, Patchy Sanders’ music comes from their mythical muse, their unknown source of inspiration, and from here it will continue to flourish.
The Nelson Odeon is located on Nelson Road, just north of Route 20.
