Northwest Park Coffeehouse Concerts Present:
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem
On Saturday, April 18 at 7:30 pm Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem will be appearing at the Northwest Park Nature Center.
Rani Arbo is the fiddler, lead singer, and founder of daisy mayhem. With a bewitching, expressive alto that is equal parts choir girl, flirty teenager, and world-weary woman, she navigates swing tunes, funky call-and-response songs, and ballads with unusual honesty and ease. All of roots music is a stage for daisy mayhem, and this four-piece string band loves nothing more than choreographing a jubilant mix of traditional, original, and contemporary sounds. With Arbo's bewitching alto at the helm, stunning vocal harmonies, a 100% recycled drum set, fiddle, guitar, and bass, daisy mayhem 'has a grand knack for pumping new blood into old music' (The Boston Globe) With influences from Doc Watson to Django Reinhardt, from Ghanaian drumming to the funky Meters, and from Fiddling' John Carson to Bob Dylan, Daisy Mayhem celebrates America's rich musical past and brings it into the present with good humor, impeccable musicianship, powerful songwriting, and a clear love of playing together. Here are four musicians who pick up what's lying around "from tin cans to old songs and wry observations of modern life "and create something new.
'Rani and daisy mayhem have become a favorite of our patrons and we look forward to welcoming them back to our venue.' ... Chuck Drake Volunteer
