JAYME STONE'S AFRICA TO APPALACHIA PROJECT AT THE KENTUCKY CENTER

As a disclaimer, I previewed this for the Kentucky Center for the Arts' BackStage Pass magazine. Jayme Stone is a Canadian banjo player who became fascinated with the African roots of his instrument. His album Africa to Appalachia, won the Juno Award (like a Canadian Grammy) for Best World Music Album of the Year. Hee will appear in concert with griot Yacouba Sissoko, Thursday, April 15 at the Kentucky Center's Bomhard Theater. For more information: www.kentuckycenter.org.
