Jamie Laval and Ashley Broder - "Leventine's 'Spinning' Wheel"Enter the Haggis - "Congress"Sirous Malek - "Esfehan 100" The Beatles - "Eleanor Rigby" Here's who's on tap this week. Violinist Jamie Laval and multi-instrumentalist Ashley Broder have put together a fun collction of duets called Zephyr at the Confetti Factory. Quirky and off-center with hints of old-time and bluegrass, these guys are like trippimg thru a slightly demented nursery rhyme. Enter the Haggis is a Scottish themed band from Toronto - in the States, you may have seen their hour-long PBS special. With fiddle and bagpipes and a full rhythm section, they incorporate Scottish idioms into a contemporary rock sound. This is a contemorary take on the classic Congress Reel. Sirous Malek is a self-taught violinist out of the Persian tradition, though violin is very much his side project. He is a visual artist working in acrylic and pastels - many of his works are available for sale online. And finally, a version of the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby. You ever actually listen to the strings on this one? Thanks everybody! Take care! Mark Allender, producer-host www.bowed.org Less
