Nora Brown + Stephanie Coleman w/ JP Harriss' Dreadful Wind and Rain
City Winery Nashville Presents Nora Brown + Stephanie Coleman w/ JP Harriss' Dreadful Wind and Rain live in concert on December 28th at 9:30pm
First brought together by Brooklyn’s tight-knit old-time music community in 2017, Nora Brown and Stephanie Coleman share a rich musical partnership that belies their 20 year age difference. Nora is a banjo player, and has released 4 albums on Brooklyn based Jalopy Records. She has performed across the US, Europe and Japan including NPR's Tiny Desk and TED EDU. Stephanie is a master old-time fiddler, having recorded with and toured internationally over the last two decades with celebrated artists such as trailblazing all-women stringband Uncle Earl, Watchhouse’s Andrew Marlin, and clawhammer banjo virtuoso Adam Hurt. Nora and Stephanie recorded together on Nora’s debut album Cinnamon Tree in 2019, and have performed as a duo in the US and London including renowned festivals as the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Trans-Pecos Festival in Marfa, TX, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Edmonton Folk Fest, and the Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen. Most recently they preformed together as a duo on NPR’s Tiny Desk and have released a new duo EP called Lady of the Lake. The vinyl to be released at the end of December 2023.
JP Harris was somebody else, musically and otherwise, before spending the last decade establishing notoriety as the “louder, faster, countryer” musician he’s known as today. Whilst living the decade-plus, stranger-than-fiction backstory that journalists recount in nearly every write up —working as a logger, historic carpenter, and equipment operator, all as he lived with no power or running water on a steep, north-facing mountainside— JP took obsessively to the sound of America’s most forgotten musical past: Appalachian old time stringband music. With no aspirations of a professional music career in sight, he nevertheless travelled relentlessly to fiddler’s conventions all over the eastern US, finding all manner of other folk obsessed with this repetitive, archaic sound. In this obscure and diverse subculture, he found late night square dances, lots of moonshine, a little romance, and more than anything a seemingly unbreakable network of friends that he would remain close with in the years that followed.
