Sounds Like: SILVER THREAD TRIO provides a fresh spin on centuries-old folk tunes from the Appalachian, folk-ballad, bluegrass, and gospel traditions. Their focus has been in maintaining the beauty in simplicity of these old songs, while communicating the emotion inherent in the stories they tell. Most of their songs end in tragedy, prompting a fan to suggest that their album be called 'Songs of Death and Misery.'Although SILVER THREAD TRIO is solidly grounded in the a cappella tradition, their music features a range of instrumentation that complements and rounds out their varied songs. Pietrangelo is featured on banjo and rhythm guitar, with Kepner-Adney on lead guitar and Isaacs on washboard and spoons.They are joined on their debut recording by an impressive list of guest musicians, including Dante and Marco Rosano (Rosano Bros. Virtual Quartet), Rudy Cortese (Cadillac Mountain), Sean Rogers (Awkward Moments and Y La Orkesta), Jimmy Carr (Awkward Moments), and the multi-talented Stuart Oliver (Dusty Buskers, Family of Light), who recorded and produced the album on his fledgling indie label, Old Bisbee Records.
