Join us for live music with The Birdseed Salesmen, 7-9pm! The Birdseed Salesmen play familiar tunes from the instrumental jazz tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their sound transports listeners to the cafes and bistros of 1930s and 1940s Europe, where string bands filled rooms with the excitement of swinging "hot club" jazz. Today, you will recognize this improvised style with its playful melodies and driving acoustic sound from movie soundtracks, commercials, and public radio stations. The Birdseed Salesmen provide the "douce ambiance" for any soirée.
Band leader, Helen Yee, is a violinist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer whose regular stomping grounds include the worlds of music between traditional and new, “high” and “low,” East and West. Over the years in New York City she expanded beyond the confines of her initial classical training – to improvise and compose in multiple styles. Now residing in Kalamazoo, Michigan her explorations continue with solo works incorporating violin with live looping and electronics.
