The brainchild of Trey Pollard and Taylor Barnett, Old New Things draws inspiration from American folk music and European chamber-jazz, creating a hybrid music that is honest, direct and expansive. The unique instrumentation of brass, reeds, banjo, pedal steel, acoustic guitar, bass, and drums offers a varied and colorful sonic palate not heard anywhere else. Their debut album “Ghosts” features original compositions as well as creative interpretations of music by Albert Ayler and J. S. Bach. “Ghosts” is available for purchase here. Old New Things is Trey Pollard (acoustic guitar, pedal steel), Taylor Barnett (flugelhorn, muted trumpet), Adam Larrabee (banjo), JC Kuhl (tenor saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet), Cameron Ralston (bass), and Emre Kartari (drums).
Old New Things is performing at RVAJazzFest in Richmond, VA on Saturday April 9th.
