2nd SHIFT Concert: Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem

Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem’s steadfast brew of wit, camaraderie, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful, spirits renewed.
Centered around the intimate, smoky grace of Arbo’s voice, the band’s signature lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room. Sweet and sinewy fiddle, genre-defying guitar, rumbling upright bass, and the deep groove of Kessel’s homemade percussion kit combine to proudly position the group at the forefront of the lineage of string bands who gleefully blur the boundaries of American roots music. Original songs fit seamlessly aside artful re-workings of Georgia Sea Islands music, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen — just a few of the many places this band is willing to go.
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem were originally part of our canceled fall 2020 series, and we are overjoyed to finally bring them to the museum for a night of memorable music.
