Anonymous 4, plus Darol Anger and Scott Nygaard
From the New Sounds Live concerts at Merkin Hall, Anonymous 4, the famed early music vocal quartet, teams up with violinist Darol Anger and guitarist Scott Nygaard to revisit early American folk spirituals, shape-note hymns, and Gospel blues. Straight out of the Ozark and the Appalachian mountains, A4 sing shape note tunes in the spare three-part harmonizations in which they first appear in the nineteenth-century tunebooks. With some instrumental accompaniment by former Turtle Islander fiddler/mandolin player Darol Anger and guitarist Scott Nygaard, there’s a folk/country/roots feeling to each deeply-researched sung poem, which tells a story of love and loss, hope and redemption.

Hi,
I really enjoyed the chamber music played tonight. I was looking on line especially for the band called Gato Libre and album Nomad but have not been able to find it. Itunes or Barnes and noble. Would you have advise where I could order this album.
Many Thanks,
Ashley
