LA Weekly, Concert Preview >>
Singer-violinist Alicia Jo Rabins fiddles with the madcap New York City klezmer-punk ensemble Golem, as well as the mesmerizingly arty folk-rock band Girls in Trouble, which she says sounds as "if the ladies of the Bible had an indie-rock band." Her solo music encompasses her varying tastes and influences, from the classical formalism of Bach and Ives to more-rustic evocations of country and folk music. Such instrumental pieces as "Bubover March" have a mournfully elegant classical bent, while rootsy tracks like "Neil Gow's Lament" and the merrily uptempo "Fort Washington Two Step" dance with a lively down-home playfulness. On "Yiftach's Daughter," she strums an austere acoustic-guitar pattern while cooing with a sweetly beguiling intimacy, joined by hauntingly lovely pastoral harmonies. Rabins follows a set by the all-femme San Francisco group the Real Vocal String Quartet, whose classical-folk stylings are enlivened by occasional forays into Latin and world music.
