Uncle Nun
FN with Weird Uncle
JULY 20 // Grey Towers // Milford, PA
Weird Uncle & Freelance Nun come together to explore early American sacred and secular music traditions like Jug Band, Sacred Harp, Mining Songs, and Old-time Fiddle Tunes while incorporating recently restored New England viols and dulcimers from the 1800s, medieval bray harps and recorders, Chinese spike fiddles and Moroccan bass banjos, percussion, jaw harp, and harmonica. This collaboration brings historically regional musical communities into conversation with the larger modern pantheon of music around the world, finding similarities across cultures while examining them through different lenses. Reflecting America's rich syncretic past, "Weird Nuncle" keeps you guessing where one tradition begins and another ends.
