'Alan Jabbour and Ken Perlman' History:
Alan Jabbour is one of America's foremost exponents of the style known as "old-time" or "Appalachian" fiddling. Not only is his playing spirited and lively, but his style authentically reflects in all its charm and rhythmic power the playing styles of nineteenth-century fiddlers from the Upper South in rural America. Ken Perlman is both a pioneer of the 5-string banjo style known as "melodic clawhammer," and a master of fingerstyle guitar. He is considered one of the top clawhammer players in the world, known in particular for his skillful adaptations of Celtic tunes to the style. On guitar, Ken's sparkling finger-picked renditions of traditional Celtic and Southern fiddle tunes are simply not to be missed. |
