Touted by the Boston Globe as having, “…a rare gift for fashioning hip, sleek sounds from the solid cloth of vintage American music,” Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem performs at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, January 22 at 7:30 p.m.
“Their shows sparkle with songs and stories that celebrate and tackle the human condition and are crafted to build bridges between musicians and listeners and performance and life,” said Lee Dombroski, PAC manager.
Musically Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem write lyrics for an Irish fiddle tune and underpin it with an Afro-Cuban cajon. Their original songs range from blues to bluegrass, Unitarian funk gospel to crooner swing and spooky folk-pop. With influences from Doc Watson to Django Reinhardt, from Fiddlin’ John Carson to the funky Meters, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem celebrate America’s past and takes it into the present.
