| Internationally celebrated banjo master Cynthia Sayer returns to Joe’s Pub with her band on a mission to reveal the unexpected musical range of the “other” banjo – the 4-string – in “The Banjo Show,” a swing-based, eclectic program that includes hot jazz, tango, American Songbook favorites, roots, vaudeville, classical, and more. Contemporary, edgy, soulful and fun, Cynthia Sayer is regarded as one of the top 4-string banjoists in the world today.Praised for her “drive and virtuosity” by The New York Times, and a founding member of Woody Allen’s New Orleans Jazz Band, her vocals are divine and her banjo a driving force of nature –“think Django Reinhardt meets Bela Fleck.” Cynthia will be joined by Dennis Lichtman on clarinet and fiddle, Jared Engel on string bass, and Larry Eagle on percussion…. along with a couple of surprises…..
Tickets: $20
