Musician @ Large
Vox Ethno is a (mostly) acoustic ensemble that performs traditional “ethno” folk music from the Balkans and Europe, typically Serbia, Russia, Macedonia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Greece. The group’s repertoire features unique and original arrangements that range from the melodic and melancholic, to the rousing and rhythmic. Some songs are performed à capella or with just a percussion accompaniment, while others need the “full noise” of the band which includes percussion, guitar, bass guitar, piano accordion and woodwind.
A truly international group, the members of Vox Ethno come from all over the globe, including Serbia, Russia, Macedonia, The Netherlands, America and New Zealand. All are drawn to the community and spirit of creating music as a group and in particular, multi-harmony songs. They love the music they perform and delight in the simple joy of creating live, authentic music that moves the soul.
Big shout out to The Undercurrent for hosting us for last night’s event, and a big thanks to all of the family and friends that came along to support us. We all had a fantastic evening and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
It’s been a little while, but happy to be playing at this year’s Slavfest in Newtown. It’s a fantastic celebration of many different cultures from around Eastern Europe. On the day, there will be market stalls, food and drink, dancing and wonderful music with several bands playing throughout the course of the day.
Happy to be playing some Eastern European Folk music with these awesome musicians.
