Bang On A Can All-Stars with Trio Mediaeval in Steel Hammer November 20, 2009

Inspired by composer Julia Wolfe’s love for the stories and music of Appalachia, Steel Hammer revisits the legend of John Henry and his race against “the machine.” Trio Mediaeval, with their pure and direct vocal sound, will weave the timeless tale and the Bang On A Can All-Stars will employ a chorus of instruments — including mountain dulcimers, wooden bones, banjo, steel hammers and more — to express the rich instrumental colors of the Appalachian region.
Estimated Runtime: 2 hours
