We are also honored to have special guest bass player Mark Schatz joining us. Mark is a two-time winner of the IBMA Bass Player of the Year Award, and best known for his contributions on some of the most iconic recordings in bluegrass by artists such as Tony Rice, John Hartford, Claire Lynch, Tim O’Brien, Sara Jarosz, Bela Fleck and Nickel Creek. Mark appears on Fleck’s most recent Grammy winning acoustic project, My Bluegrass Heart, and joins us from his tour supporting that release.

The unique and modern sound of The Crooked Jades is created by exploring the roots of Americana and interweaving the diverse musical influences of Europe and Africa.
