Elizabeth Nicholson & Stringed Migration is a Portland, OR, based quintet that performs a lush synthesis of Celtic and international roots music with a twist of jazz. Comprised of five multi-instrumentalists whose individual careers have garnered regional, national and international recognition, the band is enjoying a rapidly growing reputation in the Northwest folk world. With the recent international release of their debut CD Fly Not Yet on Waterbug Records(one of the country’s oldest and most highly-regarded cooperative folk labels), they are stepping into the spotlight on the world’s folk music stage.
The band features a cast of master musicians whose diverse backgrounds touch upon Latin music, Balkan music, Americana, rock, Mediæval music, classical Indian music, Western classical music, and jazz, yet all have deep roots in traditional Irish and Scottish fare. “The idea,” says founder Elizabeth Nicholson, “is to allow everyone in the band to draw from the full spectrum of their experience, rather than conforming to a rigidly defined idiom.” The resulting sound pays true homage to the American melting pot, revealing technical mastery, nuance, spontaneity and heart.
Stringed Migration is: Elizabeth Nicholson on vocals, harps, and guitar; Eddie Parente on violin and viola; Bob Soper on percussion, fiddle, vocals and guitar; Rob Barrick on double bass and Scottish smallpipes; and Jim Chapman on Irish and Greek bouzoukis and Irish whistles..
