    MUSIC Germán López, Joel Savoy & SAVANNAH Kelli Jones Sat, March 25, 2017 12:30 pm – 1:40 pm Venue Charles H. Morris Center, 10 E Broad St, Savannah, GA 31401 View map Admission Buy tickets More information Savannah Music Festival Credits Presented by the Savannah Music Festival Germán López is a world-renowned ‘timple’ player from the Canary Islands, and is joined by Spanish guitarist Antonio Toledo at the 2017 Savannah Music Festival. Two acoustic duos from remarkably different traditions share this one- time-only double bill. Germán López is a world-renowned timple player from Spain, and is joined by Spanish guitarist Antonio Toledo. López has been performing since the age of 10, including collaborations with the symphony orchestra of Gran Canaria and festival appearances throughout Europe and the U.S. Pronounced “tim-play,” the timple is a diminutive 5-stringed instrument that resembles the 4-stringed ukulele, which López brings to life through a joyous sound that is similar to flamenco music but with a very Portuguese flair. Joel Savoy and Kelli Jones are from Eunice, Louisiana and specialize in Cajun music, honky-tonk and swing on guitar and fiddle. Savoy is the son of renowned Cajun musicians Mark & Ann Savoy, is owner/producer at the Grammy-winning label Valcour Records, and is also the Artistic Director of the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes. This is his third SMF appearance. Kelli Jones grew up playing old-time fiddle alongside her father Carl Jones in North Carolina, and has lived in Louisiana for the past decade. She also performs and tours with Feufollet and T’Monde, in addition to this compelling new project.

  • It's All About the Music!
    Musicians “It’s all about the music!” Wayne said to me the first time Courtbouillon played together. That makes sense on a lot of levels. Here are three guys, leaders of three of the most successful WAYNE TOUPS: ACCORDION AND VOCALS contemporary Cajun bands, drawn together by nostalgia for the music they grew up listening to. I hesitate to say “music of the past.” These aren’t old STEVE RILEY: ACCORDION, GUITAR AND VOCALS songs, these are their songs- our songs- they’re as timeless to the Cajuns as WILSON SAVOY: ACCORDION, FIDDLE, GUITAR AND VOCALS the Star-Spangled Banner is to Americans. Cajun music is folk music- it’s music by the people for the people, but most of you know Wayne, Steve ERIC FREY: BASS and Wilson as the great bandleaders they are, standing onstage in front of thousands giving themselves to their audience. Here’s a chance to have them in your living room as three friends playing for each other. What a treat! The record was made with that feeling in mind. I wanted to capture that additional information raw passion coming from these guys as they poured themselves into these beautiful songs and the job was easy enough! Standing around one day after Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Joel Savoy at Studio SavoyFaire a session Wayne looked at us with tears in his eyes and thanked us for letting in Eunice, LA. him be a part of this. This music means so much to these guys. I hope you enjoy it! Photos by Lucius Fontenot.

  • Here It Might, As Long As It’S Somewhere Worth Traveling
    BRUCE ROBISON Bruce Robison has been making music professionally for decades. He still discusses his craft with so much enthusiasm he sounds almost like a kid raving about superheroes. That infectious energy is evident in every note of his new album, Bruce Robison & the Back Porch Band, as well as his new project, The Next Waltz, a blossoming community of artists, fans and friends gathering both virtually and at his recording studio in Lockhart, just outside of Austin. In both cases, the point is to celebrate country music’s rich traditions while giving creativity free rein to go where it might, as long as it’s somewhere worth traveling. It’s also about celebrating Robison’s “love of the craft of song.” “Writing is where it all starts for me,” he explains. “Whether it’s my writing, or songs I want to do with somebody else. I love the mechanics of it; how simple it can be.” Keeping it simple — and organic — was the guiding principle behind the latest album, a collection of Robison originals, co-writes and covers that capture country’s most beloved stylistic elements: good-time, lighthearted romps (“Rock and Roll Honky Tonk Ramblin’ Man”; “Paid My Dues”) and wistful, sometimes bittersweet ballads (“Long Time Coming”; “Still Doin’ Time”). But even the Who’s “Squeezebox” — which Robison calls “a great country song by some English dudes” — shows up, in a lively version dressed with cajun fiddle by Warren Hood and acoustic guitar and harmonies by Robison’s wife, Kelly Willis. Hood is one of a hand-picked crew of regulars tapped for Next Waltz recording sessions with Jerry Jeff Walker, Randy Rogers, Jack Ingram, Rodney Crowell, Willis, Hayes Carll, Turnpike Troubadours, Sunny Sweeney, Reckless Kelly and others.
