Electro-Americana




Usually when you think of looping, you think jam bands (Keller Williams for example) or hip hop. What you DON'T think of typically is bluegrass or Americana, or at least I don't. That being said, if you haven't watched the video about, do so now. In it, Barbara Lamb demonstrates how she performs one of the songs, I Was Wondering, off of her new album Twisty Girl. Barbara is a master fiddler who's played for years and years and tries to push the accepted envelope for the instrument. Think of it as electro-fiddle music for the future. While admittedly most of the album has a more traditional ring to it, there's enough modern spice here to catch the ear.
