Kessel&rs quo\;s percussion rig is 95% recycled\, featuring a cardboard box\, tin cans\, caulk tubes\, and a vinyl suitcase in lieu of a bass drum.All the band members sing\, and their four-part harmonies soar\, whether on a h aunting Appalachian ballad\, a Springsteen rocker\, or a Bahamian a cape lla song. Many of their songs plumb the human condition\, with topics ra nging from joy to death (a favorite)\, loss\, aging\, blackbirds\, and r ed-haired boys. The band has jokingly dubbed itself an &ldquo\;agnostic gospel&rdquo\; revival show\, but there&rsquo\;s truth in it\; the refra in they hear time and again from audiences all over the country is that their performances really do heal.The band recycles - but tries hard not to reduce - 150 years of American music. They hang a Georgia Sea Island s song on a New Orleans groove. They write lyrics for an Irish fiddle tu ne and underpin it with an Afro-Cuban cajon. Leonard Cohen gets clawhamm er banjo\; Springsteen gets bluegrass harmonies. Their originals range f rom blues\, to bluegrass\, to Unitarian funk gospel\, to crooner swing\, to spooky folk-pop.Rani Arbo &\; daisy mayhem celebrates America's p ast and takes it into the present. The band's newest album\, Some Bright Morning\, was just released on Signature Sounds in April 2012.For more info\, email info@sandywoodsfarm.org.
