The ReMemberers

Doors 6PM/Show 7PM

The ReMemberers is a genre-blurring trio that merges ancient folklore, global singing traditions, and instrumental virtuosity into a vivid, transportive concert experience. Their latest performance, The Lindworm, reimagines a Scandinavian wisdom tale of transformation, exile, and renewal—brought to life through rhythm, melody, and mythology. Featuring the world renowned storyteller John DeKadt (acolyte of the great Robert Bly) an evening with the ReMemberers offers up some of the most profound and enduring customs of being human: a story, a song, a heartbeat.

Each member offers a distinctive sonic ingredient to the feast:

Alex Harvey plays saz, shakuhachi, koncovka, mandolin, bouzouki and 12-string

Annie Southard sings and intones in English, Spanish, and Lakota

John de Kadt spins story and plays cajón, conga, kanjira, handpan, and frame drum

Together, they conjure a soundscape that moves fluidly from Sufi maqams to Appalachian laments to peyote chants to Leonard Cohen. The music, like the myth, is both rooted and untamed—woven in a shape that grows wild and quiet all at once.

In The Lindworm, a discarded royal secret gives rise to a serpent of vast hunger—both monstrous and necessary. When a fearless shepherdess steps forward, a journey of healing begins. Through story and song, the piece explores what must be shed in order to transform, and what wisdom waits in the wild.

For audiences at Swallow Hill, The Lindworm offers a rare convergence of ritual storytelling and cross-cultural music—both grounding and expansive, ancient and urgently of our time.
