Bio:
Highlighting the songs and styles that have shaped our country from Traditional Folk to Ragtime, Bluegrass, Old-Time and Early Country, The NEW Quintet features storyteller and musicologist Nicholas Edward Williams (Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals), Emma Dubose (Fiddle, Harmony), Jade Watts (Upright Bass, Harmony), Gordon Inman (Clarinet, Harmony) and Cody Ray (Guitar, Lap Steel, Harmony). The ensemble weaves intricate layers of ancient tones and lush textures with big harmonies in a wide array of original and reimagined traditional material, spanning the ethereal qualities of chamber music, and the raucous street music of the turn of the century. The group formed in 2021 as accompaniment to Williams' critically acclaimed sophomore release Folk Songs For Old Times' Sake, heralded by well-regarded figures of the roots community such as David Holt, Oliver Wood, Dom Flemons, and JP Harris. Ever since, The NEW Quintet has been performing throughout the Southeast at festivals, concert series, listening rooms and theaters, and they'll be unveiling their first release together in late 2023.
