TICKETS ARE ON SALE for the first Southern Pacific

TICKETS ARE ON SALE for the first Southern Pacific Sessions concert of 2023: Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno, with Elise Leavy. MARCH 11TH, 8PM at @verbatim.books .

TIX via: @southernpacificsessions bio link
--------
Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno play old-soul roots music, fluidly melding a backbone of Appalachian traditional music with fresh iconic melodies and the tightly wound vocal harmonies of indie folk. Both Vivian Leva and Riley Calcagno, now just out of college, grew up steeped in old-time music, Leva in Lexington, Virginia and Calcagno in Seattle, Washington. After meeting in 2016 they soon collaborated on Leva’s debut record Time is Everything which Rolling Stone wrote “shone a light on the past without giving up its place in the present.” In support of the record, they embarked on an extensive tour that stretched to the most northern reaches of Canada and overseas to Europe. Over the course of these varied and occasionally lonesome shows and travels, the pair developed their collaboration into a distinct sound that led to the imagination and writing of their new eponymous record Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno, out now on Free Dirt Records.
-------
Raised on the central coast of California and currently living in Nashville, TN, Elise Leavy has a distinctly unique voice as a singer and songwriter. Often likened to Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, Elise says it must be the California seawater getting inside her head and heart from an early age. She has been writing songs since she was 8 years old, and after graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music and living in New York City for three years, she is thrilled to be preparing to release her third solo project, a group of songs written and recorded in Brooklyn, NY with a full band of amazing local musicians.

FRIDAY 10pm! Join me and @kylerj.guitar for another night of old blues, jazz, and hillbilly music at @blackcatbar619 . Proud to have special guest @the_hunter_gatherer joining us from New Orleans on tenor banjo and more. EDIT: thanks to @ojocreativo in San Diego for this awesome tintype photo! He’s running a Valentine’s Day sale right now so hit him up for your own photo!

"Old Jake Gillie" based on the playing of Oscar Wright of Princeton, West Virginia. I'm curious for some input on Wright's style from my fellow banjo nerds on here: Wright uses the drop thumb techniques here in ways I've only ever seen modern "melodic clawhammer" folks play, and in ways I've never seen any other old-timer play (e.g. using his thumb on the fourth string). Are there other old-timers that played with this expanded use of the drop-thumb technique?
