  • Jenny Scheinman: Here on Earth by Dave Lynch | May 2017
    Bernstein Artists, Inc. 282 Flatbush Avenue, Suite 101; Brooklyn, NY 11217 ph 718.623.1214 - fx 718.638.6110 - www.bernsarts.com Jenny Scheinman: Here On Earth By Dave Lynch | May 2017 Jenny Scheinman digs deeply into Americana roots on her spare, evocative 2017 album Here on Earth, casting aside the appealing vocals of her singer/songwriter persona for a set of 15 brief instrumental numbers featuring the violinist -- or make that fiddler -- supported mainly by longtime collaborator Bill Frisell (guitar) and Bad Livers' Danny Barnes (banjo, guitar, and tuba), with occasional appearances by Robbie Fulks (guitar and banjo) and Robbie Gjersoe (resonator guitar). The absence of drums and bass contributes to the album's intimate appeal, with the instrumental lineup sometimes suggesting a few friends gathered together for a fiddle, guitar, and banjo session on the front porch of a cabin in an Appalachian holler. Scheinman was commissioned to write many of these songs as soundtrack material for a project entitled Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait, in which director Finn Taylor and editor Rick LeCompte assembled and presented archival footage of Piedmont region dwellers originally filmed by North Carolina photographer and documentarian H. Lee Waters between 1936-1942, from the Great Depression to shortly thereafter. Joined by Fulks and Gjersoe, Scheinman performed in live accompaniment to Waters' images of ordinary people who made the best of hard times, and who no doubt found comfort in the simple, unadorned beauty of folk music not unlike the warm and heartfelt songs the violinist has penned here. Scheinman evokes a bygone era through the grain of her rough-hewn double stops on the opening "A Kid Named Lily," the traditional stylings of her melody and chorus accompanied by expert fingerpicking from Fulks.
