Rather than treating these recordings as mere time capsules, Stone approaches them as heirloom seeds passed down from a bygone generation. Planted in modern soil, these seeds bloom into vibrant reinterpretations of Sea Island spirituals, Creole calypsos, and stomp-down Appalachian dance tunes, bringing timeless traditions to contemporary audiences.Jayme Stone: Musical Explorer ExtraordinaireJayme Stone is more than a musician—he’s an instigator, a searchlight, a sonic adventurer. With 7 albums and over 500 songs to his name, he brings a kaleidoscope of global sounds to life. From Gullah spirituals to indie-pop anthems, Trinidadian calypsos to Indian rāgas, Stone thrives on uncovering the world’s hidden musical treasures.His work tells rich stories of the people and places behind the melodies — whether it’s a 13th-century Bambara queen, the rugged roads of eastern Kentucky, or the shimmering Sea Island coastline. Each piece situates music within its cultural, spiritual, and ecological contexts, offering audiences more than just sound — it’s a journey.A Master Producer and CollaboratorAs a producer, Stone’s boundless curiosity and sharp aesthetic sense have fueled his award-winning career. His Africa to Appalachia album, a Juno-winning masterpiece created with Mansa Sissoko, connects two continents through vibrant, polyrhythmic storytelling. To bring it to life, Stone spent three transformative months in Mali, studying with master musicians, making field recordings, and tracing the African roots of the banjo. From jam sessions under baobab trees to all-night ceremonies in Dogon sandstone cliffs, his deep-dive approach creates music that resonates far beyond the notes.Acclaimed and CelebratedWith two Juno Awards, three Canadian Folk Music Awards, and features on NPR, BBC, and CBC, Stone’s artistry has captivated audiences worldwide. He’s performed thousands of concerts at iconic venues like the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and Library of Congress, alongside festivals like RockyGrass and Montréal Jazz. Stone has also produced 400 songs for the Facebook Sound Collection, solidifying his status as a creative force in global music.Don’t miss this unforgettable performance—Jayme Stone’s Folklife will leave you inspired, enriched, and ready to explore the world through sound.Cocktails @ 7:00 pm, music begins @ 8:00 pm
