South Jackson presents Southern Heritage Concert
The special concert features the Southern Fly-By-Night Singers and Jim and Inge Wood.
The Southern Fly-by-Night Singers are an assemblage of gifted vocalists performing a cappella with sparsely accompanied arrangements of chain gang songs, spirituals, blues, folk ballads and original material. Their spirited harmonies and irresistible rhythms revisit American front-porch singing traditions and plunks them down into today’s music.
Jim and Inge present The Music of our Heritage, an eclectic mixture of folk and fiddle music which reflects their diverse backgrounds. Jim performs on fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and guitar with the highlight being virtuoso fiddling in the contest, old-time, Celtic, and swing styles. Inge performs on guitar, bouzouki, and fiddle, and sings a wide range of both original and traditional folk songs in English and Spanish.
Jim and Inge will talk to us about the music of our Southern Heritage and where it comes from. The countries of Europe have given us a melting pot of music as well as cultures.
