Motherjudge, Sten Isachsen and Mike Bisio at Caffe - 07/30/2011

Motherjudge, Sten Isachsen and Mike Bisio

With muses ranging from Hank Williams and Ella Fitzgerald to swampy rhythms and deep gospel soul, MotherJudge's painterly lyrics, soaring vocals and generous arrangements showcase a broad songbook of originals and well chosen covers. Sten Isachsen is an in-demand guitar and mandolin player with Jim Gaudet & The Railroad Boys, Harold Ford & The Cash Band as well as classical guitarist with Musicians of Ma'alwyck. Isachsen and Michael Bisio will play a set of traditional and fiddle tunes informed by improv jazz. Bassist Bisio has received 4 stars from DownBeat. Slideman Kevin Maul (Burns Sisters, Lustre Kings, The Nellies) contributes pedal steel and dobro to this evening of Americana soul.
