Buckle up with Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem for a rollicking musical trip across America! First they'll head down to the Georgia Sea Islands, then hop on over to the Appalachian mountains, take a swing through a Mississippi blues joint and finally duck into a New Orleans zydeco dance hall.
Playing old songs and new songs, mixing up folk and blues, even playing rock and roll on a drum set made of cardboard, Rani and friends will show you how people have made great music out of almost nothing at all, for hundreds of years in America. Everyone can make music — and when Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem get together with their audience, music making becomes magic. Come listen, sing, dance and conjure up all the music in your bones! Lots of audience participation and laughter included.
