Gary's Gig presents Sheesham & Lotus & Son

From Bewdley to Bree and all points in between, Sheesham & Lotus & Son have presented their modern innovations of antiquity for the making of old-time sounds and ruthless groove music for the modern ear with commitment and vigour. Sound and vision explode from their stage as they play their canon of old-time American folk and pre-war songs with an aesthetic that is truly unusual. Playing Jaw-harps and harmonicas ranging from bass to treble amplified by beautiful horns, driving rhythms and soaring sibling harmonies have made them highly prized by festivals and audiences throughout Europe and the Americas. Sheesham (Teilhard Frost), Lotus Wight (Sam Allison), and Son (Brian Sanderson) far exceed their core combo of fiddle, banjo and sousaphone. And there's a local connection as well! Brian Sanderson is from Marmora and attended Centre Hastings High School!
