Fun for Everyone - Saturday May 18th

8pm - 11pm

Sheesham and Lotus and 'Son have created a sonic and visual language that simultaneously harkens back to the early days of recording and performance as well as providing a revisionist take on the old and farmiliar themes of Old-time music.
A feast for the eyes and ears alike, the Sheesham and Lotus and 'Son stage is a testament to old technologies and new sonic ideas presented to the audience in a bombastic and friendly fashion, creating an environment of sepia-tinged musical textures and horn-modified vocals that evoke a feeling of antiquity. Bass harmonicas, jaw-harps and sousaphone in tandem with cello-banjo and fiddles are played with relish and skill. The Sheesham and Lotus and 'Son show will surprise and delight with beautiful instruments, period costume and innovative design of sound and objects that exceeds the confines of what today comprises the 'old-time stringband'.
Special attention to lighting and costume brings the show together in an astounding mix of fiddle tunes, ragtime, old-time sibling harmony and good-time blues, the likes of which will defy expectation and explanation.
