Live Music: Folk

8:00 p.m.

Boris Garcia
Jamgrass and Beyond.
Boris Garcia isn’t a person but a band, an ensemble that starts with what is called jamgrass – “We’re all folkies at heart,” remarked one band member – but also fuses a dozen strands of American music into a rich, ever-evolving whole. Bluegrass, jazz, rock, folk, Celtic, soul, blues – you can hear them all. It is a band that didn’t even start out to be a band, merely a recording project. But once these old acquaintances started making music together, the music created its own momentum; they played for a friend’s party, and realized they were a band, and haven’t stopped since.

Jeff Otto (vocals, bass, guitar, ukulele), Bob Stirner (vocals, guitar, bass), Bud Burroughs (mandolin, bouzouki, button accordion, Hammond organ) and Stephe Ferraro (drums, percussion) have been part of the Philadelphia performing music scene for the past 20 years, sharing bandstands – sometimes bands – and falling in and out of studio sessions with each other.
