New England-based folk quartet Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem – featuring Scott Kessel (percussion), Rani Arbo (fiddle), Andrew Kinsey (bass) and Anand Nayak (guitar), from left – will be in concert at 7:30 p.m. today, April 7, at Southern Adventist University, 4881 Taylor Circle in Collegedale.
From bluegrass barnstormers to sultry swing, old-time gospel to bluesy folk-rock, this standard-bearing string band turns in lush arrangements with “stylish, unexpected choices” (Acoustic Guitar) and a penchant for pairing words and music.
Their original songs fit seamlessly aside artful reworkings of Georgia Sea Islands music, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen, to name a few.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $12 for families, free for SAU students.
