The acclaimed Old-time String band The Crooked Jades returns to the concert stage at the Live on the Waterfront series, presented by Point San Pablo Harbor in Richmond. The members of The Crooked Jades have been locked down with the rest of us, and as society is opening back up, they are excited to reconnect with audiences in a beautiful setting on the San Francisco Bay. They are also very excited to have very special guests, Mark Schatz (Bela Fleck, Tony Rice, Nickel Creek), and Bryan McDowell (Sierra Hull, Molly Tuttle, Claire Lynch) will light up the stage—on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, bass, and feet!
The Crooked Jades continue their mission to re-imagine old-time music for a modern age, while pushing boundaries and blurring categories with their fiery, soulful performances. Innovative, unpredictable and passionate, they bring their driving dance tunes and haunting ballads to rock clubs, festivals, traditional folk venues and concert halls across America and Europe.
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. Released to rave reviews, their 2019 recording “Empathy Moves The Water” was their first original album in over 10 years. “Few could make an album as striking as this…the highlights are the originals.” - Sylvie Simmons, Mojo Magazine, March 2019

Instead of a night out, we propose a night in! Please join us, Friday, March 19, 2021 for a virtual encore presentation of World’s On Fire!
This groundbreaking performance wowed audiences two years ago when ODC associate choreographer, Kate Weare teamed nine superb ODC dancers with the Old-Time string band sounds of The Crooked Jades. Under the co-direction of ODC founder and choreographer Brenda Way, the resulting performance expressed the musical and physical anthropology of kinship, belief, codes of honor, love and the will to endure. The Jades and the dancers shared the stage for this unique performance.
Don’t miss this virtual encore presentation.
Only 1 ticket required per household/device!
Band leader Jeff Kazor will be participating in both the pre-show discussion and the Q&A after the show.
You can also experience World's on Fire on-demand following the event from March 20-31, 2021, by following the link above.
