CROOKED JADES... Go Boldly where no old-time string band has gone before.... And this time We are very excited to premiere "Bright Land" on the west coast - performing the music live at ODC theatre in San Francisco for our unprecedented modern dance/old-time music collaboration with the New York-based Kate Weare Company. We are still in the afterglow of the world premiere of "Bright Land" at the Joyce Theater in New York (August 2010). It was gratifying beyond our wildest dreams to be greeted with passionate, receptive, intelligent and enthusiastic audiences that filled the house to the brim every single night. We hope you’ll check out our photos in our Facebook gallery, especially in the Bright Land photo gallery, plus hundreds hundreds more on Flickr and read quotes and reviews from the show by clicking onto Kate Weare Company site. www.kateweare.com/brightland.html
