Kendl Winter “Banjo Mantras” at Traditions Cafe
March 1 at 7:00 pm PST
$20 – $25Kendl Winter’s album “Banjo Mantras” began as a way to connect with her fans and peers by sharing her daily melodic meditations and explorations on the clawhammer banjo. Kendl found that the daily practice of creating and sharing her “mantras” led to further inspiration, and was moved to expand upon these ideas and ultimately record them.
“The Banjo Mantras” is Kendl Winter’s first solo release in five years and her first foray into highlighting her banjo prowess on an instrumental album. Primarily known as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in the Americana duo The Lowest Pair, “The Banjo Mantras” lean into Kendl’s skillful explorations as a banjo player to bring forward an album of intricately textured instrumental compositions. Stemming from an improvisational approach Kendl termed her music “mantras” because of their repetitive and hypnotic nature. Her first single, “Humming Mantra,” draws inspiration from the vibrant Pacific Northwest summer. Lively clawhammer banjo evokes the tune’s title and contrasts alluringly over a sustained and droning accompaniment on her old archtop hollow bodied guitar.
This will be a lovely, inspired night. We expect to sell out quickly so call us soon!
