Join us for Cascadia Coffeehouse this Friday morning as we share new music from the Boston-based string band Mile Twelve, the British group The Magpies, the new supergroup Mighty Poplar (playing the Aladdin Theatre on May 25th), My Politic, fiddler Sami Braman, and others. We’ll also celebrate the 71st birthday of Sam Bush (April 13th), and hear favorites from John Reischman,
Fiddler Sami Braman (The Onlies) will stop by WTJU this Friday during Sunset Road to go track by track through her new album, Riveter. Sunset Road airs Friday afternoon from 4-6 at 91.1FM and streaming at wtju.net.
Sami Braman has been playing the fiddle since she was 6 years old, among the music festivals and jamming communities of the Pacific Northwest’s vibrant traditional old-time music scene. At 8 she and her long-time musical buddies Leo Shannon and Riley Calcagno formed The Onlies (with Vivian Leva joining a few years later.) Sami recently moved to Nashville to pursue music full-time, and we’re excited about this new solo debut album of fiddle-based instrumentals that draws upon traditions from Appalachia to Ireland, Cape Breton to Norway. It will be officially released on Friday
