Casey Driessen's Sunday Experiment
Little Jumbo is pleased to welcome local resident, and international fiddle phenomenon Casey Driessen for a Sunday night residency.
Casey Driessen has never taken the standard path in his music career. Described by Zac Brown as “a mad scientist with a five-string fiddle.” Of the GRAMMY-nominated fiddle player Rolling Stone expressed "Driessen pours all he’s seen into his instrument; the result is both breathtaking and transformative." Currently, that means pouring himself into Otherlands: A Global Music Exploration. Produced, performed, recorded and filmed by Driessen, Otherlands is a travelogue of on-location recordings, short films, and essays documenting musical collaborations through Spain, Ireland, Scotland, India, Japan, and Finland. Driessen undertook this nearly year-long journey with his family, and the results are a 26-episode video series, a 13-song recording of collaborations titled Otherlands:ONE, stories from each encounter, and hundreds of photos.
Over the past 14 years, Driessen has released four solo records and toured as a one-man live looping show called The Singularity; collaborated with Darrell Scott, Tim O’Brien, Béla Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Steve Earle and others; produced and engineered records; teched, managed stages, tours, and merch; and travelled the world playing music in 22 countries on four continents and counting.
“Worldly musical delights.” — NPR Weekend Edition
“Monster chops and imagination to match.” — Downbeat
“One of the most brilliant bluegrass fiddlers in the world… This is the life we should wish for our best traditional artists, jetting around the world, melding minds with other masters.” — Folk Alley
“Casey Driessen revels in making his fiddle do things that seem not just left-of-center but downright improbable.” — PopMatters
